India’s crude imports in April 85% of February level, Russia largest source
NEW DELHI: Russia remained the largest source of crude for India in April, supplying 1.6 million barrels a day (mbd), followed by Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Venezuela and Qatar, data from shipment-tracking firm Kpler has shown.
India imported nearly 4.4 mbd of crude in April, marginally lower than in March (4.5 mbd) and 85% of Feb shipments (5.2 mbd), amid the ongoing disruption of supply flows through Strait of Hormuz. Supplies from Russia were down 20% from nearly 2 mbd in March, which was the highest since May last year.
