EU think tank claims 30 false-flag tankers shipped €2.1 bn worth of Russian oil to India in 2025
India imported 5.4 million tonnes of Russian oil worth €2.1 billion between January and September 2025 aboard 30 vessels sailing under false flags, a European think tank claimed on Thursday.
The shipments made India the largest national destination for crude moved by Russia’s expanding “shadow fleet,” the Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air (CREA) said in its report.
