Around 33 million barrels of Russian crude are expected to be unloaded for India this month, signalling a pickup in purchases by Indian refiners following the recent US waiver that allowed transactions involving Russian cargoes already at sea, according to data from commodity analytics firm Kpler. So far, about 10 million barrels of Russian crude have been discharged this month, while another 23 million barrels are projected to unload in the coming weeks, based on Kpler AIS projection data. The estimate could change as more tankers signal their destinations and voyage patterns become clearer.
