Discounted Russia crude gives India Rs 35,000 crore gain

购买俄罗斯折扣原油，印度省了3500亿卢比

NEW DELHI: India is estimated to have gained Rs 35,000 crore by importing Russian crude at discounts since the Ukraine conflict began in February, people in the know said.

新德里：据知情人士称，自乌克兰冲突于2月开始以来，印度进口俄罗斯打折的原油，省了3500亿卢比。

India went on bargain hunting for Russian crude as the conflict prompted Moscow’s traditional buyers to shun those barrels and traders, stuck with shipments, started offering big discounts. India has opted to import crude from Russia despite pressure from developed nations to shun shipments in the wake of Moscow’s decision to attack Ukraine.

由于冲突促使莫斯科的传统买家避开俄罗斯石油，而被困在运输中的贸易商开始提供大幅折扣，印度继续低价购买俄罗斯原油。

尽管在莫斯科决定进攻乌克兰之后，发达国家向印度施加压力，要求印度不要从俄罗斯进口原油，但印度还是选择从俄罗斯进口原油。

The country has emerged as the second-largest buyer of Russian crude after China. Russian oil accounts for 12% of the country’s total oil purchase against less than 1% before the war. In July, Russia became India’s second-largest oil supplier, relegating Saudi Arabia to the third spot. Although Riyadh won back its position in August, Russia remains the third-largest oil supplier for India, Reuters reported, quoting trade data.

印度已成为俄罗斯原油的第二大买家，仅次于中国。俄罗斯的石油占印度石油总购买量的12%，而在战前这一比例还不到1%。

今年7月，俄罗斯成为印度第二大石油供应国，将沙特阿拉伯挤到了第三位。

路透社援引贸易数据报道称，尽管利雅得在8月份夺回了自己的地位，但俄罗斯仍是印度的第三大石油供应国。

Data sourced from the commerce department showed that during April-July, India’s mineral oil imports from Russia soared over eight times to $11.2 billion, compared with $1.3 billion in the corresponding period last year. Since March, when India stepped up imports from Russia, imports have topped $12 billion, against just a shade over $1.5 billion last year. Around $7 billon of these imports took place in June and July.

来自商务部的数据显示，在4月至7月期间，印度从俄罗斯进口的矿物油飙升了8倍多，达到112亿美元，而去年同期为13亿美元。自今年3月以来，印度增加了从俄罗斯的进口，进口额已超过120亿美元，而去年仅略高于15亿美元。其中大约70亿美元的石油是在6月和7月进口的

Oil prices are critical for India as it meets 83% of demand through imports, which makes the economy vulnerable. The country’s oil import bill doubled to $119 billion in 2021-22, stretching government finances and weighing on the post-pandemic economic recovery.

石油价格对印度至关重要，因为印度83%的石油需求是通过进口满足的，这使得印度经济非常脆弱。印度的石油进口账单在2021-2022年翻了一番，达到1190亿美元，使政府财政紧张，并给疫情后的经济复苏带来压力。
