Russia has received its first gasoline cargo from India as Ukrainian attacks knock out refining capacity and a second wave of fuel shortages spreads across at least 10 Russian regions. The roughly 68,000-metric-ton cargo was produced by Nayara Energy at its Vadinar refinery in western India and delivered to Russia’s Arctic port of Vitino after a ship-to-ship transfer at Port Said, Egypt.
Russia’s gasoline shortages have now led filling stations in at least 10 regions to impose sales restrictions or run short of some grades of fuel, with shortages now reaching the Moscow region.
Russia was already using gasoline imports from Belarus to plug domestic supply gaps. It is now bringing gasoline and diesel by sea from Asia as refinery outages cut the volume of fuel available inside the country.
