India Emerges as Key Gasoline Supplier to Russia Amid Refinery Disruptions
India has become a key supplier of gasoline to Russia amid disruptions in Russian refinery operations caused by Ukrainian drone attacks. Russian seaborne gasoline imports reached a record 125,000 barrels per day in August, with Indian refiners, particularly Nayara Energy's Vadinar refinery, supplying about 1 million barrels over two months. Despite being a major crude oil producer, Russia faces domestic petrol shortages due to refinery damage, leading to rationing and increased imports of refined fuels from countries including India, Turkey, and Morocco.
