Russia Oil Prices To India Dip On Sanctions, Threats: Report
The price of Urals, the OPEC+ producer's flagship oil, is more than $5 a barrel cheaper than Dated Brent, according to a note on Wednesday from Kpler, which cited Argus data. That compares with almost parity two weeks ago.
The downward trend is likely to continue due to uncertainty around US actions, which will trigger a more cautious stance from state-run and private refiners, and plant maintenance in Russia leading to more supply from August to October, according to Homayoun Falakshahi, head of crude oil analysis at Kpler.
Still, replacing Russia's 37% market share will be costly for Indian refiners and it's unlikely they will fully cease imports, Kpler said. State-run companies are considering a pause, although private players are still taking barrels, just at a lower pace, according to the data intelligence firm.
India's crude imports from the US have also climbed to around 225,000 barrels a day since May, nearly twice the levels in early 2025, Kpler added.

Crude lessons: Reversing slide in domestic output now a strategic necessity
India can, if necessary, switch to many alternate suppliers without much additional cost Ranjan Mathai Listen to This Article United States President Donald Trump's tariff barrage against India for buying Russian oil might be a crude strategy — both to pressure Russian President Vladimir Putin on Ukraine and to extract concessions from our trade negotiators. But Mr Trump's claim that a US company could unlock Pakistan's 'massive' oil reserves — and that some might get sold to India — adds insult to our injury! India can, if necessary, switch to many alternate suppliers without much additional cost. (Official statements suggest the 5 million barrels per day we import are now sourced from 40 different
