The US has granted India permission to buy 'on-water' Russian crude oil, a move that is expected to have limited implications for the country's refining operations.
Despite this waiver, Indian refiners continue to grapple with a supply shock stemming from the Middle East, which has disrupted traditional sourcing channels.
The structural challenges in the oil supply chain suggest that while the waiver provides some flexibility, it does not fundamentally resolve the capacity constraints or throughput issues currently impacting Indian refineries.
