India doubles its petroleum exports to Europe in 3 years backed by oil imports from Russia: Rosneft CEO

New Delhi: India has doubled its petroleum product exports to Europe in the past three years, backed by higher imports of cheaper oil from Russia, said the chief executive officer (CEO) of Rosneft Igor Sechin. Addressing the 28th St Petersburg International Economic Forum, the CEO of Russia's state-owned energy company said that global energy security is impossible without Russia, Venezuela and Iran. He noted that these countries, with which oil trade has been sanctioned by the US, account for one-third of the global liquid hydrocarbons reserves and 15% of the global production. 'Being the second largest buyer of Russian crude oil, India has practically doubled its export of petroleum products into Europe over the past three years," he said. Also read: If Iran's oil is cut off, China will pay the price India increased the import of Russian oil after the western sanctions on Russia's energy supplies following its invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, as it offered India deep discounts. Russian oil currently comprises about 35% of India's overall oil imports, up from around 2.5% before the Russia-Ukraine conflict started. He also said that many oil-producing countries need an oil price much higher than current levels to balance their budgets. 'Thus, according to International Monetary Fund calculations, in 2025 this price is more than $90 per barrel for Saudi Arabia's budget," he said. The August Brent contract on the Intercontinental Exchange stood at $77.01 per barrel, 2.33% lower than its previous close. However, prices have soared from $64-65 after Israel launched aerial attacks on Iran on 13 June. Also read: Brazil auctions off several Amazon oil sites despite environmentalists, Indigenous protests Speaking on energy security, the CEO said, 'Russia, Venezuela and Iran are key players in the energy market and global energy security directly depends on their supply. These countries account for one-third of the global liquid hydrocarbons reserves and 15% of the global production. Without their resource base, it is impossible to facilitate the transition to the new landscape of the global energy industry." Observing that Russia's actual contribution to the global economy is proportional to its share in the world resource balance, he said that Russia's share in global hydrocarbon exports is about 15%. Also read: Oil India: Looking beyond benefits of crude price rally Talking of India's growing energy demand, he said, 'India, which many now expect to experience explosive growth in energy demand, is on the verge of choosing its energy consumption model. In this country, we are also seeing a growing interest in coal-fired and nuclear generation. For example, more than 30 coal mines are scheduled to reopen this year, and five new coal mining projects are expected to come onstream. India is also building six new nuclear reactors." He also noted that the Indian government plans to add at least 80 GW of additional coal-fired capacity by 2032 to meet growing electricity demand.

'Have supplies of several weeks': Puri assures fuel stability amid US-Iran strikes; India leans on Russian Crude

NEW DELHI: As military conflict escalates between Israel and Iran, Union minister Hardeep Singh Puri on Sunday assured citizens that India's fuel supplies remain secure despite growing volatility in the Middle East. 'We have diversified our supplies in the past few years, and a large volume of our energy no longer passes through the Strait of Hormuz,' Puri posted on X, adding that Oil Marketing Companies have 'supplies for several weeks' and continue to receive fuel from multiple routes. His comments come as India dramatically increased Russian oil imports in June, buying more crude from Moscow than from all Middle Eastern suppliers combined. According to preliminary data from Kpler, Indian refiners are set to import 2 to 2.2 million barrels per day (bpd) from Russia, up from 1.96 million bpd in May. In comparison, total imports from traditional Gulf partners like Iraq, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Kuwait are projected to be slightly lower at around 2 million bpd. US strikes add to region's instability The latest geopolitical instability stems from a direct US military intervention in Iran. Yesterday, American forces bombed three Iranian nuclear sites, joining Israel's June 13 attacks on Iran's nuclear infrastructure. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo Tehran has responded with strong warnings, including threats to close the Strait of Hormuz, a vital global chokepoint through which 40% of India's oil and 50% of its gas transits. Analysts believe a full closure is unlikely. 'Iran would risk hurting allies like China and Gulf neighbours, as well as provoke military retaliation,' said Sumit Ritolia of Kpler. 'At most, isolated disruptions could occur for 24–48 hours.' India's energy strategy pivots India's import strategy has shifted significantly since Russia's invasion of Ukraine in 2022. Russian oil now makes up about 40-44% of India's crude basket, compared to under 1% before the war. US oil imports have also jumped, from 280,000 bpd in May to 439,000 bpd in June. Ritolia says India is now better prepared for supply shocks. 'Russian barrels come via routes detached from Hormuz. India is also sourcing more from the US, West Africa, and Latin America,' he noted. In the event of disruption, India may dip into its strategic reserves, which can cover around 9–10 days of imports. For now, Puri reiterated the government's commitment: 'We will take all necessary steps to ensure the stability of fuel supplies for our citizens.'
