Crude Oil Import: After the trade deal between India and America, now a big update is coming out regarding the purchase of crude oil from Venezuela. Indian Oil Corp and Hindustan Petroleum Corp – these two government refiner companies of India have together purchased 2 million barrels of crude. Its delivery will be in the second half of the month of April.

2 million barrels of crude will be divided between the two

Citing sources, Reuters reported in its report that the crude purchased from Venezuela will be transported on a giant crude carrier. Out of this 2 million barrels of crude, IOC will take about 1.5 million barrels and HPCL will take about 500,000 barrels. Starting from Venezuela, this carrier will reach the east coast of India. The company supplying crude oil from Venezuela is Trafigura.

After the trade deal with America, India is now trying to avoid importing Russian oil. In such a situation, the purchase of oil from Venezuela shows an attempt by Indian refinery companies to diversify imports so that the supply of crude oil remains continuous despite the interruption in imports from Russia.

India waiting for crude supply from Venezuela

This is HPCL’s first purchase of crude oil from Venezuela. Whereas the country’s top refiner IOC has purchased oil from Venezuela in 2024. According to Reuters, HPCL had said in January that it was waiting for the supply of crude oil from Venezuela for its refinery in Visakhapatnam.

The capacity of this refinery of HPCL is 300,000 barrels per day, which the company plans to increase by 40000-60000 barrels per day.

IOC to start aviation fuel: People usually throw bad or used eating oil. But now this oil will be used to fly airplanes. The country’s largest refining and fuel marketing company Indian Oil Corporation (IOC) has got its permission. The refinery at Panipat, Haryana has received an international certification to create a Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF). IOC has become the first company in India to get such a certification.

This recognition is given by ISCC CORSIA (ICAO). IOC chairman Arvinder Singh Sahni said that the company hopes that the fuel of the aircraft will start to form from the Panipat refinery by December this year.

How much fuel will be made?

Indian Oil estimates that the oil used by the end of the year will develop a capacity to make aircraft fuel per year. For this, bad oil will be collected from major food chains like big hotels, restaurants and Haldiram. This is the same oil that is not used again after frying and cooking.

The IOC chairman says that the oil used in the country is available in sufficient quantity. The real challenge is to collect it from small cities and towns. Special system is being developed for this.

What is a sustainable fuel?

Sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) is an alternative biofuel, which emits much less carbon than traditional jet fuel. It is produced from food used by food, agricultural residues and other bio-vest instead of petroleum sources. Adopting this will help in reducing the carbon footprint of the aviation industry.

Russian crude oil: Indian port officials on Thursday (March 27, 2025) stopped an old tanker filled with Russian crude oil from taking entry due to insufficient documents. Sources familiar with the case have given this information. This does not usually happen. This indicates strictly checking of ships carrying dandruff oil.

Indian Oil Corporation had to deliver

India is the largest buyer of Russian crude oil. Oil is supplied to India from Russia to the sea. In 2024, India has imported about 35 percent of the total amount of crude oil. India is the largest importer and consumer of crude oil worldwide.

According to shipping data, there was a loading of about 100,000 metric tonnes (or about 800,000 barrels) of Russian oil company Lukoil in the Northern Russian port Marmansk in the Andaman Skyz with Tanzania flags. For delivery to the Indian Oil Corporation, the ship was moving towards the Wadinar Bandgar in Gujarat. According to information received from sources, this ship was sent back.

Earlier this ship came to India in December

According to the port admission rules in India, ships more than 20 years old are required to receive maritime qualification certification from a member of the International Association of Classification Society or a unit authorized by the maritime administration of India.

Sources said that the Andaman Skyz, built in 2004, had come to India in December earlier. At that time, it had a Dakar class certification. It is India based, but it has not been recognized by Indian shipping officials. Let us know that due to the US sanctions imposed on Russia in January, the demand for Russian crude oil from big buyers like India and China has decreased. The purpose of this ban imposed by America was to directly attack the economy of Russia.
