00:00 The United States has started removing oil sanctions from Venezuela in a bid to challenge
00:06 Arab world's oil hegemony.
00:08 Now finding an opportunity in the changing world politics, India, a major consumer of
00:13 crude oil, is set to resume its crude oil imports from Venezuela after a three-year
00:18 suspension.
00:19 This decision comes following the easing of sanctions by the United States on Venezuela's
00:24 oil sector.
00:25 Shipping fixtures reveal that Reliance Industries, a private sector giant, has booked three tankers
00:29 scheduled to load oil from Venezuela in December and January, marking the revival of trade
00:34 between the two countries.
00:35 Prior to the imposition of US sanctions on Caracas in 2019, India, specifically private
00:41 sector refiners like RIL and Nayra Energy, was a consistent purchaser of Venezuelan crude.
00:46 However, the sanctions have led to a cessation of oil imports from Venezuela.
00:50 The last recorded import of Venezuelan crude by India was in November 2020, amounting to
00:55 nearly 16 million tons of crude provided by Venezuela, as indicated by India's official
00:59 trade data.
01:00 Venezuela was a significant supplier, ranking fifth in oil supply to India in 2019.
01:05 The recent easing of US sanctions in October granted authorization for Venezuela's oil
01:09 exports without limitations for six months.
01:12 Despite offering steep discounts to Chinese independent refiners who were among the principal
01:15 buyers during the sanctions, recent reports suggest that the discounts have diminished
01:19 due to relaxed sanctions.
01:21 With the altered circumstances, Caracas is keen to expand its oil sales to other global
01:25 markets, potentially offering discounts to attract buyers.
01:29 This move by India follows its increased imports of discounted Russian crude after Russia offered
01:34 substantial discounts following its invasion of Ukraine back in February 2022.
01:39 Industry observers anticipate that India's renewed importation from Venezuela may negatively
01:43 affect Chinese refiners' imports.
01:45 This resurgence in India-Venezuela oil trade underscores India's pursuit of diverse and
01:49 cost-efficient oil sources amid a volatile global oil market.
