Refiners Turn to LatAm, Africa to Replace Russian Oil in February
Business Standard
|March 14, 2025
India's crude oil imports from Latin America and Africa rose marginally in February as refiners turned to alternative sources, fearing a loss of Russian oil supplies caused by tighter US sanctions, data from trade sources shows.
The South Asian nation became the biggest buyer of Russian seaborne oil sold at a discount after Western nations imposed sanctions on Moscow for its 2022 invasion of Ukraine in 2022.
In February, imports of Russian oil fell 3 per cent from January to about 1.54 million barrels per day (bpd), with Moscow's share in New Delhi's overall crude purchases shrinking to the lowest since January 2024, the data shows.
