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