Sanctioned Nayara Seeks Indian Help for Fuel Transport
A company called Nayara in India, which gets oil from Russia, is having trouble because Europe has put sanctions on it.
This means it can't easily get ships to move the fuel it makes.
Because of this, the company asked the Indian government for help.
The government is looking into providing Indian ships so the company can keep delivering fuel to its gas stations.
Nayara Energy, sanctioned by the EU, seeks Indian government help.
The company needs vessels to transport refined fuels to its retail stations.
Nayara has reduced crude runs at its refinery due to the sanctions.
The company's refinery is in Vadinar, Gujarat, with a 20-million-tonne-a-year capacity.
Indian ministries will meet to consider providing India-flagged vessels.
