India saved USD 13 billion by importing discounted Russian crude

New Indian Express  

NEW DELHI: India has saved around $13 billion by importing discounted crude oil from Russia in the past two years, according to a study by ICRA, the rating agency. According to energy cargo tracker Vortexa, India received 1.36 million barrels of crude oil per day from Russia in March 2024, compared to 1.27 million barrels per day in February 2024. Consequently, if the discounts on purchases of Russian crude persist at the current low levels, ICRA anticipates India's net oil import bill to rise to $101-104 billion in fiscal year 2025 from $96.1 billion in fiscal year 2024, assuming an average crude oil price of $85 per barrel for the fiscal year. According to February 2024 data from the Ministry of Commerce and Industry, India imported $2.6 billion worth of crude oil from Saudi Arabia, placing it in second position.
