India has emerged as a key supplier of petrol to Russia as Ukrainian drone attacks disrupted Russian refinery operations.
Russia’s seaborne petrol imports reached a record 125,000 barrels per day (bpd) in August 2026.
Indian refiners supplied about 1 million barrels of petrol to Russia during the last two months, mainly from the Vadinar refinery in Gujarat.
India imported more than 2.6 million bpd of Russian crude oil in June and July 2026.
Russia extended its petrol export ban until January 2027 amid domestic fuel shortages.
