India reduces Russian crude oil imports due to price changes
Indian refiners are decreasing purchases of Russian crude oil for November delivery because its price advantage has diminished, with Chinese demand driving up Russian prices and Middle Eastern supplies offering alternatives.
Background
Following Russia's invasion of Ukraine, many Western nations imposed sanctions on Russian oil. India, a major oil importer, significantly increased its purchases of discounted Russian crude, becoming a key buyer. This shift reshaped global energy markets and trade relationships.
