State-run refiners examine Russia oil options after curbs
Hindustan Times Mumbai
|October 29, 2025
SINCE THE LATEST SANCTIONS BY THE U.S., REFINERS HAVE STAYED OUT OF THE MARKET FOR URALS CRUDE, RUSSIA’S BENCHMARK GRADE
India’s state-run refiners are considering whether they can continue to take some discounted Russian oil cargoes by leaning on small suppliers instead of energy giants Rosneft PJSCand Lukoil PJSC, both blacklisted by the US last week.

They are instead waiting for government direction and weighing their options, according to senior refinery executives.
