‘Blatantly untrue’: Reliance refutes reports of Russian crude oil shipments to Jamnagar refinery

Reliance Industries said in a statement on Tuesday that it does not expect any Russian crude oil shipments in January and that no such cargo has reached its facilities in the last three weeks. The clarification came after a Bloomberg report claimed that at least three tankers carrying Russian crude oil had indicated a Reliance Industries Ltd refinery as their next stop.

In a post on X, the company described the report as “blatantly untrue”. It said, “Reliance Industries’s Jamnagar refinery has not received any cargo of Russian oil at its refinery in the past three weeks approx. and is not expecting any Russian crude oil deliveries in January.”
