NEW DELHI: However, this supply chain has now been disrupted after shipowners, wary of European Union sanctions, halted the lifting of products from the company's refinery in Vadinar, Gujarat.

Top executives from the company met with Shipping Ministry officials on Thursday, seeking assistance in securing vessels to transport fuels to key locations, including Maharashtra, Mangalore in Karnataka, Chennai, and parts of Andhra Pradesh and Odisha, according to sources familiar with the matter.
