Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Ltd (BPCL) has stated that it is currently evaluating purchase offers for Russian Urals crude for September loading, but sellers are no longer providing any discount, according to comments made by the company's finance director, V. R. K. Gupta, during an analyst conference call.
The state-owned Indian refiner is expected to finalize its orders for Russian crude for September within the next ten days.
The company's monthly crude import requirement is approximately 3.2 million tonnes, with supply for July and August already secured through multiple channels.
Gupta also noted that following the escalation of the Red Sea conflict, crude shipments transported via that route could face delivery risks.
