Reliance Industries Ltd has clarified that it is not expecting any Russian crude oil shipments in January and that no Russian oil has been received over the past three weeks. The company dismissed reports suggesting that Russian crude was being routed to its Jamnagar refinery, calling such claims inaccurate.
The clarification came after media reports cited tanker-tracking data indicating possible deliveries of Russian oil to India. Reliance, however, stated that there are no scheduled arrivals of Russian crude for January and no recent cargo receipts from Russia.
The statement comes at a time when Russian energy exports are under increased global scrutiny due to ongoing geopolitical tensions and international sanctions. These developments have impacted global crude trade flows, including shipments to India.
Industry analysts note that Indian refiners have become more cautious in sourcing crude amid rising geopolitical risks and compliance concerns. Reliance reiterated that its crude sourcing strategy remains aligned with international regulations and commercial considerations.
Overall, the company’s clarification aims to address market speculation and reaffirm its current crude procurement position.
Reliance Industries Ltd ne saaf taur par kaha hai ki January mein Russian crude oil ki koi supply expected nahi hai aur pichhle teen hafton se Russia se koi oil shipment receive nahi hui hai. Company ne un media reports ko galat bataya jisme kaha ja raha tha ki Russian oil Jamnagar refinery ki taraf aa raha hai.
Kuch reports tanker-tracking data ke basis par yeh daawa kar rahi thi ki Russian crude India bheja ja raha hai. Is par response dete hue Reliance ne clarify kiya ki January ke liye koi bhi Russian oil delivery schedule nahi hai.
Yeh clarification aise samay par aayi hai jab global level par geopolitical tensions aur sanctions ke chalte Russian energy exports par nazar rakhi ja rahi hai. In developments ka asar global crude oil trade par bhi pada hai.
Market experts ka kehna hai ki Indian refiners ab crude sourcing ko lekar zyada cautious ho gaye hain. Reliance ne yeh bhi kaha ki uski oil procurement strategy international rules aur compliance norms ke hisaab se hi tay ki jaati hai.
Overall, company ne market speculation ko door karte hue apni position clearly rakh di hai.
