Indian refiners' January crude processing slips 0.2% from a month earlier
Indian refiners' crude throughput fell by 0.2% month-on-month in January to 5.63 MMbpd [23.81 MM tonnes (t)], provisional government data showed on Monday.
Refinery throughput in December was at 5.64 MMbpd (23.86 MMt).
On a year-on-year basis, refinery throughput was little changed in January.
India is the world's third-biggest oil importer and consumer.
Data showed that India's fuel consumption fell to 21.05 MMt in January from 21.71 MMt the previous month but gained nearly 3% compared with the same period last year.
Earlier this month, an Indian foreign ministry spokesperson said that India is open to buying oil from nations, including Venezuela, depending on commercial viability. The United States, which threatened to impose tariffs on India last year for buying Venezuelan oil, has told Delhi it can resume those purchases soon to help replace imports of Russian oil, three sources familiar with the matter said in early February.
