Crude supply, not price, worries Indian refiners on W Asia, Russia squeeze
India's crude oil buying now faces a supply problem, not just a price one. Russia and Saudi Arabia together shipped over half of our crude in the last six months, shipping data shows. For refiners, that narrow sourcing has become a physical procurement crisis. If your business depends on imported fuel, tighter supply may raise your input and freight costs. So review your energy budgets early.
