Hit by EU sanctions! Russia-backed Nayara Energy looks at India's state-run oil companies to offload petrol, diesel exports - here's what's happening
Russia-backed Nayara Energy looks at India's state-run oil companies to offload petrol, diesel exports Nayara Energy has approached Indian state-run oil marketing companies (OMCs) to offload its export volumes of petrol and diesel after Western sanctions on Russia's oil and energy sector, according to a senior industry official, reported Economic Times. Nayara Energy is India's second-largest single-site refinery in Vadinar, Gujarat, with a capacity of 20 million tonnes per annum (MTPA). The company contributes around 8% of India's refining output, but is currently running the facility at a reduced capacity of about 80%, sources said. Nayara also runs a retail network of over 6,300 fuel stations, accounting for about 7% of India's total, and has plans to scale this up by over 50% by 2030. However, July 18 sanctions by EU member states on Russia's energy have a direct impact on Nayara Energy operations. Russian energy giant Rosneft holds a 49.13% stake in the company. The sanctions lowered the price cap on Russian oil to $47.6 per barrel from $60 and targeted 'shadow fleet ships' used for Russian crude transportation. In a July 21 statement, Nayara Energy said it would continue to invest over Rs 70,000 crore in downstream projects, including petrochemicals, ethanol plants, marketing infrastructure, and ESG-linked refinery upgrades, reiterating its long-term commitment to India's energy sector. Since August 2017, Nayara has already deployed over Rs 14,000 crore into projects across India, including refinery upgrades and a new polypropylene unit in Vadinar, marking its entry into the high-growth petrochemical segment. The company added it contributes 8% to the country's polypropylene capacity and employs over 55,000 people directly and indirectly. 'Our operations are closely aligned with India's national priorities,' Nayara said in a statement, reaffirming its investment roadmap and its annual Rs 200 crore CSR budget focused on community development.

Showroom B2B Launches Noida Unit to Boost Apparel Supply
Jungle Ventures-backed Showroom B2B, India's fastest-growing B2B platform for value fashion retailers, has launched a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Noida. With a production capacity of 150,000 garments per month, the unit is set to generate $8 million in annual revenue and create over 300 direct and indirect jobs, with a strong focus on women's participation in the workforce, targeting 50% of production roles for women. This new hub is a major step in the brand's vertically integrated growth strategy, aiming to serve both domestic retail networks and global export markets with speed, sustainability, and scalability. The unit is digitally powered, incorporating automation and real-time workflow systems to meet the growing expectations for faster turnarounds and supply chain transparency. Abhishek Dua, Co-founder and CEO, Showroom B2B, said: 'We're building for scale, precision, and predictability. This facility isn't just about increasing output, it's about creating a responsive, digitally connected supply chain that reflects where value fashion is headed, both in India and globally.' Commercial operations commenced on June 2, 2025, and the site supports the company's broader monthly capacity of 400,000 pieces. The unit focuses on key categories such as denim, kurtis, and core apparel, designed to meet both retail and export demands. Outlining the company's five-year vision, Dua shared: 'We will be doubling our topline revenue every single year of operation for the next five years with a revenue goal of ₹2,500 crores. The industry is becoming more fast fashion-oriented, and we're aligning our sourcing strategy by making it more agile and responsive.' The company's client roster includes Vishal Mega Mart and Reliance Retail, while its export program has begun pilot shipments to the USA, Middle East, and Europe. The facility's flexibility allows for scaling exports in line with future partnerships, reinforcing the company's commitment to global expansion. Dua added: 'This facility is a tech-forward response to what fashion retailers increasingly expect i.e. speed, transparency, and supply chain reliability. We expect to achieve ROI on this facility within 12 months, driven by faster order turnaround, improved margins, and rising export demand.' Rather than merely expanding volume, Showroom B2B is prioritizing responsive scaling—aligning capacity with real-time market feedback from its retail partners. With its future-ready design, the Noida facility will play a critical role in expanding India's footprint in global value fashion supply chains.
