Shipping data shows that Indian diesel exports to West Africa have reached a record high as the European Union bans fuel made using Russian crude oil.<\/p>\n
At the same time, Turkey\u2019s diesel export to the EU has slowed over the past few months.<\/p>\n
Both countries have until recently bought large quantities of discounted Russian crude, refined it into diesel, and then exported the fuel to Europe.<\/p>\n
But under the EU\u2019s new rule, a refinery must not have processed any oil from Russia in the 60 days before a cargo is loaded in order to qualify for export to the bloc.<\/p>\n
The move, which is reordering global oil flows, is part of Europe\u2019s policy aimed at punishing Moscow over its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022.<\/p>\n
Brussels said this closes a loophole allowing products made using Russia crude to enter the EU if they were processed in a third country.<\/p>\n
India was the third biggest diesel exporter to the bloc and this change has forced its oil refineries to seek new markets.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
