Russia remains top oil supplier for India despite 10% import dip
Russia maintains top position in India’s oil supply despite decline in total imports.
India’s crude oil imports fell 10% in the first eight months of 2025, yet Russia retained its position as the largest supplier with a 34% share. Kpler data shows continued reliance on discounted Urals crude, though imports from Iraq and Saudi Arabia rebounded slightly. Analysts expect elevated Russian inflows through year-end.
