Indian Refiners' Fuel Exports to West Rise 43% Amid Russian Crude Processing
In September, refineries in India, Turkiye, and Brunei exported oil products worth 1 billion euros (USD 1.2 billion) to sanctioning countries, 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 to EU ports despite the EU's ban on fuel refined from Russian crude. The EU imported 667 million euros' worth, with other destinations including Australia, the US, and New Zealand. CREA noted that 295 million euros' worth of these products were refined from Russian crude. India's imports of Russian crude fell 13% in September. CREA recommends applying the EU ban at the refinery level to close existing loopholes.
