Russian oil discount for Indian refiners increases to $8 per barrel
Indian oil companies are getting a bigger discount on Russian oil, which is now $8 less per barrel.
This is good news because the price of oil is already around $60 per barrel.
The economist Madan Sabnavis says this helps Indian companies because they sell oil products at regular prices and keep the prices in India the same.
So, they can make more money.
Russian oil discount for Indian refiners has increased to $8 per barrel.
Crude oil prices are around $60 per barrel.
Higher discounts benefit Indian refiners who sell products at market prices.
Domestic retail prices in India remain stable.
Madan Sabnavis, chief economist at Bank of Baroda, comments on the positive impact.
