India's crude imports averaged 4.85 million bpd from February 1-18, down 8% from January's 5.25 million bpd. Flows from Russia have declined due to US sanctions, with shipments falling from 1.28 million bpd in December to around 1.09 million bpd in early February. This shift highlights a rebalancing towards Middle Eastern suppliers, particularly Saudi Arabia.
