OIL PRODUCTS: India’s Crude Throughput to Dip in Q3: Platts
Jul-10 10:47
India’s crude oil throughput is expected to dip in Q3 2025 due to reduced transport fuel demand during the monsoon, Platts said.
- However, analysts forecast a rebound in Q4 driven by festive season demand and rising exports.
- Crude processing between January- May rose over 2% year-on-year to 5.49m b/d, supported by strong performance at HPCL’s Vizag refinery and IOC’s Panipat and Paradip plants.
- Refinery utilisation remained robust, averaging 106% in May and 105% for April–May.
- Private refiners also showed strength, though Reliance’s throughput dropped slightly in the April–May period.
- However, January–May imports were up 1.5%, supported by strong domestic and export demand. Russia remained India’s top crude supplier, while US imports surged 51% year-on-year.
- With the monsoon impacting short-term runs, the outlook for Q4 remains positive. India’s increasingly diversified import strategy—now sourcing less than 45% from the Middle East—adds resilience amid ongoing geopolitical tensions, Platts said.
