Kpler data indicates that India's crude oil imports from Russia were approximately 2.1 million barrels per day (mbpd) in August. This figure represents a significant reduction from the record import levels observed in July and June of the current year.
In both July and June, India's crude oil imports from Russia reached around 2.6 mbpd, as reported by the maritime intelligence and research firm. The August figures show a clear decline from these peak volumes.
Despite this decrease, Russia continued to be India's largest crude oil supplier during August. The data from Kpler highlights Russia's sustained importance in India's energy supply chain.
The trend of Russia being India's top crude supplier has been consistent, with the country maintaining this position even with fluctuating monthly import volumes. This underscores the ongoing trade relationship between the two nations in the crude oil sector.
