Nayara Ships Fuel Despite EU Sanctions Disruption

07 Aug 2025 CW Team

Russia-backed Indian refiner Nayara Energy has exported its first petrol cargo since being sanctioned by the European Union on 18 July, according to four shipping sources and LSEG data.

The tanker Tempest Dream, carrying approximately 43,000 metric tonnes (363,350 barrels) of petrol, departed on Monday for Sohar, Oman, based on LSEG shipping data, although the buyer’s identity remains unverified. The vessel was itself sanctioned by the United Kingdom in June.

A second vessel, the Sard, currently docked at Nayara’s Vadinar port in western India, is expected to load around 43,000 tonnes of diesel, according to two sources. Both the Sard and Leruo, another ship used recently by Nayara, have been under EU sanctions since May and July respectively.

Nayara has had to scale back operations at its 400,000-barrel-per-day Vadinar refinery due to challenges in securing vessels and selling fuel amid tightening sanctions, according to reports.

With international routes constrained, the company—operating over 6,600 retail outlets across India—has approached state-owned fuel retailers to boost domestic sales.

Recent activity shows the Leruo was used to move around 43,000 tonnes of diesel to the port of Mundra in western India, based on data from Kpler and traders.
