In August, India saw a 26% decrease in oil imports from Russia, bringing the total to 2.08 million barrels per day (bpd). This is a drop from the record-breaking 2.82 million bpd recorded in July. Overall, India’s total oil imports for August reached 4.62 million bpd, marking an 8.4% decline compared to the 5.04 million bpd imported in July. The reduction is largely attributed to Ukrainian strikes targeting Russian oil facilities.
