Sanctions-hit Nayara seeks Indian govt help to get refinery repair gear, sources say

Russian-backed Indian refiner Nayara Energy is seeking Indian government help to source equipment and materials needed for maintenance as European Union sanctions make it difficult to secure key items, three people familiar with the matter said.

The private refiner has approached the Centre for High Technology, an advisory body under India’s oil ministry, seeking assistance in sourcing specialised equipment, catalysts, and other raw materials, the sources said.
