Continue to buy Russian oil depending upon economics, says IOCL
State-owned downstream major Indian Oil (IOCL) on Monday said it continues to purchase Russian crude oil in the current quarter, depending upon the economics. However, the company noted that discounts on Russian barrels have narrowed significantly to just $1.5–$2 per barrel.
The comments come at a time when India faces the risk of a 50% tariff from the US. Washington has already announced an additional 25% tariff on the country for continuing to buy Russian oil.
