EU sanctions and Russian-crude controversy
The European Union reportedly sanctioned the Vadinar refinery in July 2025 because of its connection to Rosneft and its role in refining Russian crude. The action raised questions about export access, banking, insurance, shipping and the broader compliance risks facing Indian refiners processing Russian oil. Indian authorities objected to the measures and defended the country's energy requirements.
