India’s Russian oil imports ease in September amid US talks
India’s oil imports from leading supplier Russia dipped in September, but held at about a third of overall shipments in spite of a US push to curb flows it says are helping to fund Moscow’s war in Ukraine.
Cargoes to the third-largest consumer totaled 1.61 million barrels a day in September, down from 1.72 million the month before, according to Kpler Ltd. Compared with a year ago, Russian flows are 16% lower — in line with a range that was flagged by people with knowledge of the matter in August.
