Russia imports 460,000 tons of automotive fuel from India, Turkey, and Morocco
In August, Russia imported approximately 460,000 tons of motor fuel amidst challenges facing domestic refinery production due to drone attacks on key facilities, which led to the shutdown of several plants including those in Perm, Nizhny Novgorod, Kiryuchi, and Yaroslavl. Despite reducing gasoline production to 70% of domestic consumption levels by the end of August, Russia intensified efforts to diversify its supply sources by importing gasoline from India, Turkey, and Morocco, in addition to sea imports of diesel from Asia. The damage to refineries caused fuel prices to rise and led to long lines at gas stations. Additional shipments of gasoline are expected over the coming week to address the shortage and secure the summer demand, which is estimated at around 115,000 tons daily.
