India’s imports of the Russian crude oil surged to a 10-month high of 1.96 million barrels per day in May, driven by continued availability at significant discounts as compared to global benchmark prices, according to ship-tracking data from Kpler.

India, the world’s third largest oil importing and consuming nation, bought from abroad around 5.1 million barrels of crude oil, which is converted into fuels like petrol and diesel in refineries.

Of this, Russia was the largest supplier, accounting for over 38 per cent of the supplies, while Iraq remained the second-largest supplier, with 1.2 million bpd of sales to India.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
