thebalanced.newsRussian Oil Tankers Diverted to India Amid Middle East Supply Disruptions
Amid escalating Middle East tensions disrupting global oil supply routes, India has increased imports of discounted Russian crude to secure its energy needs. The Russian tanker Aqua Titan, originally bound for China, arrived off Mangaluru port as part of at least seven vessels redirected to India. This shift helps India build reserves and stabilize domestic fuel supplies while traditional Gulf imports decline due to Strait of Hormuz disruptions. Indian ports have also waived cargo charges to facilitate energy imports amid ongoing geopolitical volatility.
