Import of 25% crude oil from Russia

Increase due to the Russia-Ukraine war
The biggest reason for this increase is the Russia-Ukraine war. Actually, after the war America and European countries imposed sanctions on Russia. After which Russia started giving a discount on crude oil. India also took advantage of the opportunity and started buying large quantities of oil from Russia. Like India, China bought a large amount of crude oil from Russia during this period.
Oil purchases not less than the price cap
The G7 countries imposed a price cap on Russian crude oil in early December. Under this, oil could be bought from Russia only for $ 60 / barrel or less. This price cap has not had any impact on India's oil purchases from Russia. In December, for the first time, India bought more than one million barrels of oil per day from Russia. According to industry sources, India is getting Russian oil at a price lower than the price cap.
