India's Russian Crude Imports Could Hit Record 3 Million Barrels Per Day
India's imports of Russian crude oil are projected to potentially reach a record 3 million barrels per day, driven by favorable pricing and supply conditions. Indian refiners have been increasingly relying on discounted Russian crude since Western sanctions redirected Moscow's oil exports toward Asia. Saudi Arabia's East-West pipeline via Yanbu has also been providing an additional supply cushion of around 300,000 to 500,000 barrels per day. This supplementary supply route remains viable as long as Red Sea shipping lanes stay unaffected by regional instability. Together, these factors position India to significantly expand its crude import volumes in the near term.
