Indian refiners hit pause on Russian oil imports after 50% tariff blow: Report

Indian refiners are slowing down their purchases of Russian oil, as pressure grows from the United States after President Donald Trump announced 50% tariffs on Indian exports, reported move is seen as a response to India's continued imports of Russian crude despite global sanctions against like Indian Oil Corporation, Bharat Petroleum Corporation and Hindustan Petroleum Corporation have decided not to buy Russian oil on the spot market in the upcoming buying cycle.

These people did not wish to be named as they are not authorised to speak to the PURCHASES ON HOLD, TERM CONTRACTS MAY CONTINUEWhile India has not officially ordered refiners to stop buying Russian oil, the government is reportedly reviewing the situation. As per Bloomberg, state-run refiners have already been asked to draw up alternative plans that focus on sourcing crude from non-Russian oil deals, especially outside long-term contracts, are usually finalised one-and-a-half to two months in advance. This gives refiners time to secure supplies in line with their future now, purchases of Urals crude set to load in August and September are expected to go ahead as planned unless the Indian government advises otherwise. Some cargoes have already been delivered to Indian ports, although a few shipments were slightly ADD TO SUPPLY UNCERTAINTYThe spotlight is now firmly on India's oil import choices after Trump doubled tariffs on Indian exports to 50%. This sharp increase is meant to punish New Delhi for continuing oil trade with Moscow, according to the US administration. The US has not made a similar move against China, another major buyer of Russian development has caused uncertainty in global oil markets. Brent crude prices were steady at around USD 67 per barrel on Thursday, after falling for five consecutive days. Traders are watching to see if there will be any large disruptions to oil flows and whether Russia can find alternative buyers for its LOOKS FOR ALTERNATIVESIndia had increased Russian oil imports after the Ukraine war started, rising from nearly zero to more than 2 million barrels per day at its peak. Now, that figure may fall as refiners hesitate to place fresh expect that any fall in Indian demand for Urals crude could lead to deeper discounts from Russia and possibly more offers to China, which doesn't usually buy large quantities of this variety. At the same time, Indian refiners may look towards the US, the Middle East, and African countries to make up for the refiners such as Reliance Industries and Nayara Energy have also been quiet lately.

India's state refiners pause Russia oil buys as US adds pressure

India's state-owned oil refiners are pulling back from purchases of Russian crude for now, according to people with direct knowledge of the companies' procurement plans, as Washington ratchets up the pressure on New Delhi over the flows with a wave of harsh tariffs. Companies including Indian Oil Corp., Bharat Petroleum Corp. and Hindustan Petroleum Corp. plan to skip spot purchases of the crude in the upcoming buying cycle, until there's clear government guidance, said the people, who asked not to be identified as they aren't authorized to speak publicly. That will affect buying of the Russia's Urals cargoes for October-loading, they added. The global oil market has zeroed in on India's crude purchasing after President Donald Trump doubled the levy on all Indian exports to the US as a direct punishment for the country's refiners taking Russian crude. The escalation — which hasn't yet been matched by similar action against China, another major buyer — is meant to pressure on Moscow to end the war in tension has swung futures this week as traders assess the odds of disruption to flows, as well as Moscow's ability to find alternative buyers should Indian refiners opt to take fewer barrels. Brent was little changed near $67 a barrel on Thursday, following a five-day New Delhi hasn't given any direction to refiners to stop buying Moscow's crude, with Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government pushing back against Trump's tariffs. Bloomberg earlier reported that refiners had been asked to draw up plans for buying non-Russian crude. An oil ministry spokesman didn't immediately reply to an email seeking comment. Separately, IOC, BPCL and HPCL didn't reply to messages from Bloomberg seeking term contracts, oil producers and refiners typically deal with purchases in short-run cycles, with cargoes booked about one-and-a-half to two months ahead of loading. That planned-ahead pattern allows users to ensure they have enough on hand to meet their overall purchases of October-loading Urals by India's refiners are unlikely to drop to zero, a dip could prompt a rush for other grades, with US, Middle Eastern and African cargoes as alternatives, said traders, who buy and sell across the region. Discussions for October cargoes have not yet started, though traders foresee deeper Russian discounts and more offers to China, which doesn't typically take much of the variety. In late-July, purchases of September-loading Urals concluded with India taking fewer barrels due to pricey offers. Since then, state-owned refiners have issued a slew of tenders, soaking up spot cargoes from other regions. Private processors Reliance Industries Ltd. and Nayara Energy Ltd., meanwhile, have been quiet, with the latter grappling with a steep drop in run rates following sanctions imposed by the European Union. Cargoes of Urals — Russia's benchmark crude grade from the west of the country — for August- and September-loading are likely to be delivered as planned, unless New Delhi advises otherwise, the people said. In recent days, tankers have offloaded some cargoes at Indian ports, albeit with some slight delays. At its peak, India imported more than 2 million barrels a day of Russian oil, up from almost zero purchases before the Ukraine war. 'There would be some operational disruptions for a period, but the crude supply-demand would balance out,' said R. Ramachandran, former director of refineries at Bharat Petroleum. If Russian supplies are more difficult, 'Middle East crudes — with the geographical advantages and a wide range of quality will be a prime substitute, especially from Saudi and Iraq,' he said.

Stricter rules likely to curb substandard steel imports

India plans to tighten the advance authorisation norms for steel imports , aiming to curb large-scale inflows of substandard inputs. According to officials aware of the development, instances of non-Bureau of Indian Standards (non-BIS) compliant steel being sold in the domestic market are being flagged. These substandard products are said to be imported duty free by export-oriented units under the advance authorisation. "The imported steel, meant for export production is often sold in the domestic market, resulting in revenue loss for the government and putting domestic steel makers at a competitive disadvantage," the official told ET. India currently levies an interim 12 per cent safeguard duty , and a 7.5 per cent basic customs duty on steel imports. There is also a Quality Control Order ( QCO ) which bans the import and sale of non-BIS steel in the country. The advance authorisation scheme allows exporters to import raw material at nil duty and without QCO regulations with an export mandate that needs to be met within 18 months. "Eighteen months is too long, and traceability of non-BIS compliant steel is a matter of concern since it is making its way to the domestic market and not being used to make exported products," the official said. The centre is now said to be considering lowering the Export Obligation Period (EOP) of advance authorisations to six months in a bid to ensure the substandard steel is not diverted. Besides tightening the Advance Authorisation regime, India is also planning to withdraw an exemption from the QCO granted to domestic importers under the scheme. This too is aimed at plugging misuse of the scheme, officials said. According to Fitch Ratings , India is also expected to extend its 12 per cent safeguard duty and even revise the duty rates upwards as industry conditions worsen globally. "Governments around the world have been raising barriers to steel imports in recent months," Fitch said while adding India has introduced other non-tariff measures to protect domestic producers in recent months. India's steel imports fell by 16 per cent annually in the first half of this calendar year. "Barriers to steel imports should benefit domestic producers," Fitch added.
