India's Venezuelan Oil Imports Rise to Seven-Year High in October, Led by Reliance
India's imports of Venezuelan crude oil are expected to more than double to about 465,000 barrels per day in October, reaching the highest level since December 2019. Reliance Industries is a key beneficiary, with shipments directed to its Jamnagar refinery via the Sikka port. This increase follows the lifting of US sanctions on Venezuela and coincides with a decline in Russian oil imports due to rising prices. Actual deliveries may vary depending on tanker arrivals later this month.
