India supplies Russia a record 125,000 bpd gasoline
The Hindu··30 Aug
India has become a key gasoline supplier to Russia after Ukrainian drone strikes hit Russian refineries. Vortexa said Russia's seaborne gasoline imports rose to a record around 125,000 barrels per day in August. Indian refiners supplied as much as 1 million barrels over two months, mainly from Nayara Energy's Vadinar plant. Vortexa logged 32 refinery attacks in July and August.
