India to buy 12% less Iran oil in April versus March: Report

报告称，印度4月份从伊朗进口的石油将比3月份减少12%

NEW DELHI: Indian state refiners will lift 8 million barrels of Iranian oil in April, a decline of about 12 per cent from the previous month, industry sources said, as the nation is in talks with the United States to renew the waiver from US sanctions against Tehran.

新德里：业内消息人士称，4月份印度国有炼油商从伊朗进口的石油将减少800万桶，较上月降低约12%。目前印度正在与美国谈判，以延长美国对伊朗制裁的豁免期。

The United States introduced sanctions aimed at crippling Iran’s oil revenue-dependent economy in November but gave a six-month waiver to eight nations, including India, which allowed them to import some Iranian oil.

去年11月美国对伊朗实施制裁，旨在打击依赖石油收入的伊朗经济，但给予包括印度在内的8个国家6个月的豁免，允许它们进口一些伊朗石油。

India has been allowed by Washington to continue to buy about 300,000 bpd oil or 9 million barrels in a month till early May.

华盛顿已允许印度在5月初前继续以约30万桶/日的数量从伊朗购买原油，即900万桶每月。

New Delhi, Tehran’s biggest oil client after , has decided to lift lower volumes in April as a ‘precautionary measure ahead of renewal of waiver,’ said one of the sources familiar with the matter, without elaborating further.

一位知情人士表示，作为德黑兰继之后最大的石油客户，印度已决定在4月份减少进口量，作为延长豁免期之前的预防措施。

The United States aims to cut Iran’s crude exports by about 20 per cent to below 1 million bpd from May by requiring importing countries to reduce purchases to avoid US sanctions, two sources familiar with the matter said.

两名知情人士表示，美国计划从5月起将伊朗原油出口量削减20%左右，至100万桶/日以下，通过要求进口国减少采购，以避免美国的制裁。

The United States will likely renew waivers to sanctions for most countries buying Iranian crude, including the biggest buyers and India, in exchange for pledges to cut combined imports to below 1 million bpd. That would be around 250,000 bpd below Iran’s current exports of 1.25 million bpd.

美国可能会延长对购买伊朗原油的大多数国家的制裁豁免，包括最大的进口国和印度。作为交换，他们承诺将原油日进口总量削减至100万桶以下。这将比目前每天125万桶的出口量低25万桶左右。

It is not yet clear if reduced volumes of 8 million barrels a month is the new condition imposed by Washington for granting a second waiver to New Delhi from sanctions against Tehran.

目前尚不清楚，每月减少800万桶的进口量是否是华盛顿向新德里提出延长豁免期的新条件。

For March, Indian Oil Corp had placed an order for 5 million barrels, Mangalore Refinery and Petrochemicals Ltd for 2 million, and Hindustan Petroleum Corp and Bharat Petroleum Corp for 1 million each.

3月份，印度石油公司订购了500万桶原油，芒格洛尔炼油化工有限公司订购了200万桶，印度斯坦石油公司和巴拉特石油公司各订购了100万桶。

In April, IOC would lift 4 million barrels, while there is no change in volumes to be loaded by other companies, the sources said.

有消息人称，印度石油公司将在4月减少400万桶原油进口，而其他公司的进口量不会发生变化。
