India becomes 2nd-largest importer of Russian fuels
Russia's crude oil exports and a fifth of coal came to India in the past 12 months, making India the second-largest importer of Russian fuels after China, according to a research agency. Since the European Union imposed a ban on the import of coal, oil and some other commodities from Russia on December 5, 2022, supplies to India and China have increased. Between the EU ban and the end of November this year, China imported 40% of all the coal and 45% of all the crude oil Russia exported, according to the Finland-based Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air (CREA). India purchased 32% of Russia's crude oil exports while the EU (8%) and Turkey (4%) were the third- and fourth-largest buyers.
