This discount was around $1 per barrel in July and August.<\/p>\n<p data-spacing=\"double\">This increase makes Russian oil more attractive to Indian refineries compared to Brent crude.<\/p>\n<p data-spacing=\"double\">In previous months, Moscow had limited exports, prioritizing its domestic market.<\/p>\n<p data-spacing=\"double\"><strong>Imports expected to increase in October<\/strong><\/p>\n<p data-spacing=\"double\">Indian refineries are expected to increase their purchases of Russian oil in the coming months.<\/p>\n<p data-spacing=\"double\">According to data from the analytics firm Kpler, India&#8217;s oil imports from Russia could average 1.7 million barrels per day in October.<\/p>\n<p data-spacing=\"double\">While this amount represents an approximately 6% increase from the previous month, it is projected to be slightly lower than the same period last year.<\/p>\n<p data-spacing=\"double\">The prolonged trade negotiations between Washington and New Delhi and the continued increase in shipment volumes reinforce the expectation that purchases will continue.<\/p>\n<p data-spacing=\"double\">In August, the US imposed an additional 50% tariff on certain products imported from India to pressure New Delhi to reduce its purchases of Russian oil.<\/p>\n<p data-spacing=\"double\">However, it is noteworthy that similar measures have not been applied to China, which also heavily imports Russian crude oil.<\/p>\n<p data-spacing=\"double\">The Indian government has stated that it makes its commercial decisions based solely on price, while also expressing interest in American energy sources.<\/p>\n<p data-spacing=\"double\">Washington is demanding that India completely halt its purchases of Russian oil.
