What happened
Kpler estimates that Venezuelan crude deliveries to India are expected to more than double in October, reaching about 465,000 barrels a day from 196,000 barrels a day in September. These shipments will utilize the Jamnagar refinery complex and Sikka Port, which is used by Reliance Industries Limited for its operations.

Why it matters
The increase in crude imports is significant because Venezuela’s Merey crude is selling at a discount, which helps offset the challenges of shipping and processing the dense, high-sulfur barrels. Reliance Industries Limited’s Jamnagar complex is equipped to handle this type of crude.
