Before the U.S. sanctions on Russia’s top producers Rosneft and Lukoil, Reliance Industries of Indian billionaire Mukesh Ambani was the biggest buyer of Russian crude oil, importing more than 500,000 bpd thanks to a long-term deal with Rosneft. Now, Reliance will import only limited volumes of crude from Russia, all of it non-sanctioned, according to Bloomberg’s source, as India looks to cut overall Russian crude intake to appease the Trump Administration in tough trade talks. U.S. President Donald Trump has singled out India as a target to punish for buying large volumes of Russian crude oil and supporting the Kremlin’s energy revenues. The Russian crude will be processed at Reliance’s huge refinery at Jamnagar, at the unit processing fuels for the domestic market, as the EU enacted last week a new ban on imports of petroleum products. In November, Reliance stopped processing any Russian crude at its export-oriented refinery units to be sure it complies with this ban.
