Exports of oil products by private Indian refiners
The South Asian nation became the top buyer of Russian seaborne crude after Moscow's 2022 invasion of Ukraine. Private refiners Reliance Industries (RELI.NS), opens new tab and Nayara are Russia's top Indian oil clients, trade data shows.
India's state refiners have stopped Russian oil purchases as the discounts narrowed and Trump warned countries not to by Moscow's oil, industry sources said. From January 21, the EU will stop direct imports of fuels made from Russian oil.
Here are details of fuel exports from India's two big private refiners.
Nayara, recently sanctioned by the European Union, exported nearly 3 million tons of refined fuel in the first half of 2025, data from trade sources showed, or 30% of its total output.
Swiss-based trader Vitol was the top buyer of refined products from Nayara, including diesel and gasoline, for discharge in the United Arab Emirates and West Africa, the data showed.
Other buyers included Aramco Trading, Shell (SHEL.L), opens new tab, and BP (BP.L), opens new tab.
Nayara was forced to cut output at its 400,000-barrel-per-day refinery at the western port of Vadinar due to difficulties in securing ships for exports after the sanctions, Reuters reported.
The refiner, majority-owned by Russian entities including oil major Rosneft (ROSN.MM), opens new tab, sells about 70% of its refined fuels in India through more than 6,600 retail outlets, it said in a Delhi court filing.
Reliance, operator of the world's largest refining complex at Jamnagar, is a much bigger exporter.
Controlled by billionaire Mukesh Ambani, Reliance exported 21.66 million tons of refined products in the first six months of 2025 to buyers such as BP (BP.L), opens new tab, Exxon Mobil (XOM.N), opens new tab, Glencore(GLEN.L), opens new tab, Vitol and Trafigura, the data showed.
Europe takes the biggest chunk, or 28%, of Reliance's exports, according to the data analysed by Reuters.
The table shows exports by Nayara Energy and Reliance Industries between January and June 2025, according to data obtained from sources. Units are 1,000 tons.
Note: Totals may not tally due to rounding-off.

Long NHS waiting lists bolster profits at BUPA as it cashes in on 'growing demand' for private care
Bupa is on course to make bumper profits this year as it cashes in on 'growing demand' for private care because of lengthy NHS waiting lists. The health insurer reported a pre-tax profit of £501million for the first six months of 2025, 19 per cent higher than last year. The results, which also saw an 11 per cent jump in revenue to £8.8billion for the first half of 2025, included Bupa's operations in Europe, Latin America, India, the Middle East and Asia. The company said its performance had been bolstered by surging demand for private healthcare and income from its care homes. Inaki Ereno, group chief executive, said: 'In the first six months of the year, we have served more customers than ever before.' The half-year report also revealed that the number of people taking out Bupa's health insurance globally rose 23 per cent to 40.9m, while the occupancy rate of its care homes for older people rose 1 per cent to 94 per cent. Its UK and India division recorded turnover of £2.8billion, while profits soared 89 per cent to £126million. UK insurance accounted for 48 per cent of the division's sales, while 9 per cent came from dental practices. The company has opened 61 sites around the world, including buying New Victoria Hospital, London, its first UK hospital purchase since 2008. The growth comes as people turn to private healthcare to avoid joining the 6.2m patients languishing on NHS waiting lists. The figures, revealed last week, also showed that nearly 3m patients awaiting care had not received a first appointment with a specialist or a diagnostic test since their referral. The Patients Association described the 'invisible waiting list crisis' as 'staggering', as millions are left in limbo while their health deteriorates. Other companies which have benefited from the boom in demand from those wanting to go private include Spire, Nuffield and Circle. David Rowland, director of think-tank Centre for Health and the Public Interest, told The Guardian: 'You've now got more and more people who are having to pay out of their own pockets for things like dental care or operations that aren't available on the NHS. 'Nobody's being honest about the extent to which this is happening. No politician has stood up and advocated for it. It's a trend which has been happening increasingly over the past 30 years with Labour, Conservative and Lib Dem parties in charge.' The General Medical Council recently revealed that 19 per cent of doctors are considering a move abroad – believing the profession is 'treated better' in other countries and better-paid.

Trump says he would meet Putin even if Russian leader won't meet Zelensky
Donald Trump has said he would meet Vladimir Putin even if the Russian leader will not meet Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. Mr Trump was asked by a reporter if the Russian leader would need to meet Mr Zelensky to secure a meeting with the US, and replied: 'No, he doesn't. No.' Advertisement His comments followed Mr Putin's remarks earlier on Thursday that he hoped to meet the US president next week, possibly in the United Arab Emirates, but the White House was still working through the details of any potential meetings, press secretary Karoline Leavitt said. Mr Putin's announcement came on the eve of a White House deadline for Moscow to show progress towards ending the three-year war in Ukraine or suffer additional economic sanctions. Asked on Thursday if his deadline for Friday would hold, Mr Trump said of Mr Putin: 'It's going to be up to him. We're going to see what he has to say. It's going to be up to him. Very disappointed.' He also touched on killings that have continued on both sides and added, 'I don't like long waits. I think it's a shame.' Advertisement A White House official told the Associated Press on Thursday morning that a US-Russian summit would not happen if Mr Putin did not agree to meet Mr Zelensky, but the official later said it only made it less likely. Speaking of possible direct talks with Mr Zelensky, the Russian president said he has mentioned several times that he was not against it, adding: 'It's a possibility, but certain conditions need to be created.' The Kremlin has previously said Mr Putin and Mr Zelensky should meet only when an agreement negotiated by their delegations is close. Ukraine fears being sidelined by direct negotiations between Washington and Moscow, and Mr Zelensky said he had phone conversations with several European leaders on Thursday amid a flurry of diplomatic activity. European countries have pledged to back Ukraine for as long as it takes to defeat Russia's invasion. Advertisement Mr Putin's foreign affairs adviser, Yuri Ushakov, earlier brushed aside the possibility of Mr Zelensky joining the summit, something the White House said Mr Trump was ready to consider. Mr Putin has spurned Mr Zelensky's previous offers of a meeting to clinch a breakthrough. Asked who initiated the possible talks with the US president, Mr Putin said that did not matter and 'both sides expressed an interest'. Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky (Gregorio Borgia/AP) A meeting would be the first US-Russia summit since 2021, when Joe Biden met Mr Putin in Geneva. It would be a significant milestone towards Mr Trump's effort to end the war, although there is no guarantee it would stop the fighting since Moscow and Kyiv remain far apart on their conditions for peace. Months of US-led efforts have yielded no progress on stopping Russia's invasion of its neighbour. The war has killed tens of thousands of troops on both sides and more than 12,000 Ukrainian civilians, according to the United Nations. Advertisement Western officials have repeatedly accused Mr Putin of stalling in peace negotiations to allow Russian forces time to capture more Ukrainian land. He has previously offered no concessions and said he will accept a settlement only on his terms. Mr Zelensky said European countries must also be involved in finding a solution to the war on their own continent. 'Ukraine is not afraid of meetings and expects the same bold approach from the Russian side. It is time to end the war,' he added. A ceasefire and long-term security guarantees are priorities in potential negotiation with Russia, he said on social media. Advertisement He noted that Russian strikes on civilians have not eased despite Mr Trump publicly urging Mr Putin to relent. A Russian attack on Wednesday in the central Dnipro region killed four people and wounded eight others, he said. A new Gallup poll published on Thursday found that Ukrainians are increasingly eager for a peace settlement. In the survey, conducted in early July, about seven in 10 Ukrainians said their country should seek to negotiate a settlement as soon as possible.

India police raid on Delhi migrants shows stark inequalities
In Gurugram, an upscale suburb just outside Delhi, gleaming SUVs, futuristic skyscrapers and neat apartments stand in stark contrast to nearby mosquito swarms, trash heaps and tarpaulin the gated compounds live some of India's richest, while in the slums nearby live poor migrant workers - mostly domestic helpers, garbage-pickers and daily-wage month, local authorities rounded up hundreds of these workers, most of whom say they are Bengali-speaking Muslims from India's West Bengal state, in a "verification" drive targeting illegal Bangladeshi suspects were detained and kept at "holding centres" where they were asked to provide documents to prove their citizenship. Many allege they were beaten and mistreated by police during the process. Police officials deny these allegations. "I had my voter and national ID cards, but they told me they were fake. I spent six days not knowing my fate before I was finally released," said Ather Ali Sheikh, a daily-wage worker, who has lived in the city for 15 action has left indelible scars on the social fabric of the city, which prides itself on its cosmopolitan culture. Hundreds of workers have fled overnight - abandoning jobs, homes and, in some cases, even families in their haste to escape."I still don't understand why they suddenly came after me," Mr Sheikh said. Behind him, his wife hurriedly packed their belongings - torn clothes, old utensils and school books - into flimsy boxes."Was it because of my language, my religion or because I am poor? " Mr Sheikh continued, his face hardening with anger. "Why weren't the rich Bengali residents held up?" Police in Gurugram deny targeting any particular community. "Neither religion nor class has anything to do with the drive," public relations officer Sandeep Kumar told the added that out of the 250 people picked up, only 10 have been identified as illegal migrants and will actually be deported. "Everyone else was released. No one was mistreated at the centres. We have been completely fair and objective."Meanwhile, trepidation is being felt on other side of the city as well. With no workers left, heaps of trash have been overflowing from public bins and dump yards on to the streets, inconveniencing residents."Our house help and her husband, who worked as a driver, both left and now we have no help," said Tabassum Bano, who lives in one of the on alleged illegal immigrants from Muslim-majority Bangladesh are not new in India. The countries are divided by a porous border 4,096km (2,545-mile) long, and have seen waves of movement of people on both these efforts seem to have intensified under Prime Minister Narendra Modi's recent months, hundreds of people, including a veteran Muslim officer of the Indian Army, have been arrested on suspicion of being illegal migrants. In the north-eastern state of Assam, where the issue has been a potent flashpoint for decades, authorities have been "pushing back" hundreds of Bengali-Muslims into Bangladesh on suspicion of them being "illegal Bangladeshis".Deportations are also under way in Delhi, where some 700 people were picked up and flown out to border states in the last six has had a chilling impact on the Gurugram, a sense of shock prevailed over their dust-blanketed colonies. "For years, we have cleaned and collected their garbage. Now we are being treated like it ourselves," said Rauna Bibi.A domestic help, Rauna's husband had returned from West Bengal the same day the detentions began. When he heard about it, he was so terrified he left again - this time, without informing his wife."For three days, I wondered if he was picked up; whether he was even alive," Rauna said. "When we finally spoke, he said he didn't call because he did not want any trouble."But it was not her husband's behaviour that bothered Rauna, or the fact that he was now jobless. It was the theft of her pride - and the comfort of belonging to a place - that hurt her the most, making her feel absurdly insignificant."Unlike poverty, I can't fight this with my hard work," she said. "If they pick us, I wouldn't know how to survive. This slum, the work we do and the houses we clean - this is our entire life." Mr Kumar says the recent action is based on a home ministry notice from May that lays down new guidelines for deporting illegal the order, all states are required to set up a special task force along with holding centres to "detect, identify and deport/send back illegal immigrants settled from Bangladesh and Myanmar".Each person would be given 30 days to prove their citizenship, during which authorities would send their documents back to their home districts for they fail to confirm the details, the suspects would be taken by the police "under proper escort, in groups as far as possible", and handed over to the border forces for however, have questioned the order, saying it does not specify the basis on which a person is made a suspect."On the face of it, it's nothing other than the fact that you speak Bengali, have a Muslim name and live in shanty," said Aakash Bhattacharya, of the national council of the All India Central Council of Trade Unions which advocates for workers' rights. What is worse is that none of the suspects are being given certificates confirming their citizenship had already been verified, he added. "This means they can be put through the same process again, making them extremely vulnerable." Mr Kumar says the detentions in Gurugram were made on the basis of strong preliminary evidence."We checked their phones and found suspicious contacts from Bangladesh. Some of them also failed to answer questions about their ancestry during interrogation," he Chakma, a human rights worker, says that the policy is not necessarily religious-specific. "The arrest of the Muslims appears to be more as they constitute about 95% of Bangladesh's population," he for a country that has seen an influx of refugees for decades, India does need a wider refugee law to address many of these complex issues, he now, Bengali-Muslims are living with a deep sense of of them have been sleeping with documents tucked under the pillow in case misfortune strikes. "We were already fighting the harsh reality of our lives. Now we have to fight this too," said Rabi-ul-Hassan, a resident of Jai Hind camp, a massive slum located in one of the poshest corners of weeks ago, authorities cut off electricity in the area, instantly plunging some 400 people into action came after a court ruled that the slum-dwellers, who say they have lived there for generations, were squatting on private land. "They did this even when the area is recognised as a legal slum by the city's own urban planning organisation," said Abhik Chimni, a lawyer who is challenging the then residents have been in some kind of stupor, dazed, angry and tired. "The heat is unbearable. The food keeps rotting and the children don't stop crying. At night, we try to sleep outside but then mosquitoes bite us," said Baijan Bibi."I am so exhausted," she continued, "that sometimes I wonder if it's better to live in a holding centre. At least there will be a fan there, right?"
