According to a report by Reuters, citing two industry sources, India has begun sea deliveries of gasoline to Russia to partially alleviate fuel shortages. At least 60 thousand tons of gasoline have already been shipped, with deliveries involving two tankers, each carrying 30–40 thousand tons.
It is noted that in summer, demand for fuel in Russia is traditionally high, with daily gasoline consumption reaching about 110 thousand tons. Against this backdrop, the new deliveries are seen as part of efforts to stabilize the market.
Other sources claim that Moscow may eventually purchase up to 400 thousand tons of fuel monthly from abroad, including from Belarus, which has already increased its gasoline supplies to Russia.
At the same time, it is reported that Indian oil refineries are simultaneously increasing their purchases of Russian oil, which indicates the interdependence of energy flows between the countries.
Russian authorities admit that problems with fuel supply have arisen in certain regions of the domestic market, partly due to damage to oil refineries. It is officially stated that the situation is under control and measures to stabilize the market are being discussed, including regulation and possible targeted subsidies for specific sectors.
