Russia stays India’s top crude supplier at 1.74 million bpd
In short
Russia supplied 1.74 million barrels per day of crude to India in September through September 27.
Limited supply from West Asia left refiners with fewer alternatives. The report does not say if the pattern lasted through the rest of the month.
What the reporting says
Russia supplied 1.74 million barrels per day of crude to India in September through September 27, as constrained West Asian supplies limited alternatives for refiners. The source does not state whether the pace continued into month-end or how this compared with other suppliers in full-month terms. The immediate implication is that Russian crude remained a key source for Indian refiners.
Why it matters
Russia supplied 1.74 million barrels per day of crude to India in September through September 27, according to the summary. The reporting says constrained West Asian supplies limited alternatives for refiners, but it does not give a full-month comparison or later updates. The result is continued dependence on Russian barrels for Indian refiners.
