India's Russian oil imports recovered in March, returning to near usual levels after a 3-month decline, as non-sanctioned vessels were delivering cargoes, while some supplies were diverted from Turkey,

Indian imports of Russian crude oil are rebounding in March after a decline earlier in the year, as traders secure non-sanctioned tankers and Urals crude falls below the G7 price cap.

Non-sanctioned vessels were delivering cargoes, while some shipments were diverted from Turkey. The flow recovery to the world's third-largest oil importer and consumer is easing a supply glut and lowering prices for rival Middle East grades.

India’s state-owned refiners are in talks with traders selling Russian crude. These discussions indicate that there is sufficient supply to meet the current demand, according to a Bloomberg report. This eases concerns that the flow of crude could slow down in the coming months due to the recent US sanctions.
