India has remained the largest destination for Russian crude oil, although imports decreased significantly from peak levels. In September, India imported around 1.82 million barrels per day, while competition from China intensified. US sanctions and tariffs have influenced purchasing decisions but supply constraints also played a crucial role. Venezuelan crude has returned to India's oil imports, driven by specific refining capabilities in the country.
