Indian Refiners' Fuel Exports to Sanctioning Countries Rise 43% in September
In September, refineries in India, Turkiye, and Brunei shipped oil products worth 1 billion euros (USD 1.2 billion) to countries sanctioning Russia, marking a 43% increase from August, according to the Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air (CREA). India's Reliance Industries' Jamnagar refinery supplied six of seven cargoes unloaded at EU ports despite the EU's ban on fuel refined from Russian crude. The EU was the largest importer, followed by Australia, the US, and New Zealand. India's imports of Russian crude fell 13% that month, the second consecutive decline.
