AI Summary

India's oil imports from Russia are poised to reach a new high in June, driven by increased demand following the Hormuz crisis and US waivers on Russian oil. The country's reliance on Russian crude has led to a significant increase in imports, with preliminary data indicating that India has taken in 2.6 million barrels per day of Russian oil so far this month. This surge in imports is likely a result of the crisis in the Hormuz region and the US decision to waive restrictions on Russian oil imports. The development highlights India's growing dependence on Russian oil, which has become a key component of the country's energy mix in recent months.
