India emerges as key petrol supplier to Russia as refinery attacks disrupt fuel supplies
Asia-Pacific2 sources1 country🔦 Under-reported20m ago
India has emerged as a key supplier of petrol and gasoline to Russia, driven by disruptions at Russian refineries caused by Ukrainian drone strikes. Russian gasoline imports reached unprecedented levels in August, with Indian shipments serving as a central contributor to meet domestic fuel needs.
This development contrasts with the established energy trade pattern in place since 2022, during which India heavily pivoted toward importing Russian crude oil to satisfy the bulk of its own raw material needs for manufacturing fuels such as petrol and diesel.
