MITHILA — India's role as a major supplier of gasoline to Russia has surged recently following a series of Ukrainian drone strikes that disrupted operations at Russian refineries. The damage to domestic refining activities created significant fuel supply challenges, prompting Russia to turn to external sources for petrol. In August, total Russian gasoline imports climbed to unprecedented levels, with India emerging as a central contributor to these inbound fuel flows.
Much of the gasoline transported from India to Russia was moved utilizing sanctioned vessels and involved intricate transfer practices to carry out the shipments. This expanded gasoline export relationship is likely being driven by India's increased imports of crude oil from Russia, underscoring an evolving energy exchange following the disruption of Russia's domestic fuel supplies.
