Picking up the thread, company's director finance V R K Gupta said the discounts on Russian crude are expected to come down due to moderating demand-supply situation.
Bharat Petroleum sees discounts on Russian crude shrinking to USD 3-6 per barrel against USD 8-10 last year, amid range-bound global oil prices, but will continue to import "significant" volumes, the company brass told investors on Friday.

"Our expectation is that global supply and demand will be relatively balanced and the prices would be in the range of USD 83-87. The factors that could impact prices is largely related to unplanned production disruptions, a risk highlighted by the recent tensions in West Asia," chairman G Krishnakumar said in his opening remarks at the investors call.

Picking up the thread, company's director finance V R K Gupta said the discounts on Russian crude are expected to come down due to moderating demand-supply situation. "Last year, there was an over-supply. But now demand-supply dynamics is in moderate zone. So we are expecting moderate discounts, not aggressive." Russian shipments made up roughly 39% of crude processed by BPCL in 2023-24.
