      <description><![CDATA[In August 2026, Russia imported a record 172,000 tonnes of oil products, mainly gasoline refined from Russian crude at India's Vadinar refinery, partly owned by Russia's Rosneft.

This surge follows sustained Ukrainian drone strikes that have disrupted Russia's domestic refining capacity, reducing fuel production and causing shortages. The gasoline was shipped back to Russia via sanctioned tankers, highlighting Russia's reliance on Indian refineries to process its crude amid ongoing infrastructure challenges.]]></description>

This selling is attributed mainly to global factors such as escalating Middle East tensions, rising crude oil prices above USD 108 per barrel, increasing US bond yields, and a strong dollar, which have dampened risk appetite. Despite this, FPIs continued investing in the primary market. Domestic institutional investors provided support by purchasing equities, helping cushion market declines amid ongoing geopolitical and inflation concerns.]]></description>
