India's Russian oil imports jump over 50 times since April: Official

India's crude oil imports from Russia have jumped over 50 times since April and now make up for 10 per cent of all crude bought from overseas, a senior government official said on Thursday. Russian oil made up for just 0.2 per cent of all oil imported by India prior to the Ukraine war. "Russia oil now makes up 10 per cent of India's oil import basket in April. It is now among the top 10 suppliers," the official told reporters here. As much as 40 per cent of the Russian oil has been bought by private refiners - Reliance Industries and Rosneftbacked Nayara Energy. Last month, Russia overtook Saudi Arabia to become India's second-biggest supplier of oil behind Iraq as refiners snapped up Russian crude available at a deep discount following the war in Ukraine.

Indian refiners bought about 25 million barrels of Russian oil in May. Russian-origin crude accounted for 10 per cent of India's total seaborne imports in April for the first time, rising from 0.2 per cent throughout 2021 and Q1 2022. India, the world's third-biggest oil-importing and consuming nation, has long defended purchases of crude oil from Russia following President Vladimir Putin ordering the invasion of Ukraine. The Oil Ministry had last month stated that "energy purchases from Russia remain minuscule in comparison to India's total consumption."

Iraq remained the top supplier to India in May and Saudi Arabia is now the third biggest supplier. India has taken advantage of discounted prices to ramp up oil imports from Russia at a time when global energy prices have been rising.After the US and China, India is the world's third-largest consumer of oil, over 85 per cent of which is imported. Following its invasion of Ukraine, there are now fewer buyers for Russia's Ural crude oil, with some foreign governments and companies deciding to shun Russian energy exports, and its price has fallen. Indian refiners have taken advantage of this and bought Russian crude oil at discount as high as USD 30 per barrel. Earlier, the crude was disadvantageous because of the high freight cost. [BS] Back

SRUs: Are non-traditional players driving costs too low to stay viable?

There is crowding of bidders around  Sulphur Recovery Units in refienries, it is claimed. 8The SRU is the simpler of the refinery units, and it has been noticed that power sector players like BHEL and ISGEC are at the forefront here when it comes to bidding 8But there are many pitfalls in such a strategy 8And driving down costs, like ISGEC reportedly did, could be detrimental to the bidder Find out more **********************************

An SRU unit is the simpler of the refinery units but it is an essential part. So if there are delays on the part of the new bidders, like ISEGEC in completing the projects, as they may have bid too low, the entire refinery/petrochem complex can get delayed in Barauni and in Panipat.  There has been a price escalation in SRUs and yet prices quoted are lower than before.  There should ideally be a diferernce of around Rs 10 to Rs 14 crore between two bidders and when the differential is higher, then the L-1 bidder is bidding in a distressed manner to grab a contract, and that could be detrimental both for the bidder and the owner in the long run.  Established players, who were natural SRU bidders, are now claiming that the power contractors like ISGEC and BHEL might have bid well below the break even price.  Only time will tell if that is correct or not **********************************
