SINGAPORE – Indian refiners purchased record volumes of crude oil from Russia in December, even as Western powers rolled out a price cap
Under the cap, Group of Seven (G-7) and European Union insurance and reinsurance companies that provide services for tankers carrying Russian crude oil, as well as institutions financing Russian crude transactions, will not be allowed to handle such cargoes unless the oil is bought at or below the US$60 price cap.
