  "account": "India has become a crucial source of gasoline for Russia due to disruptions in the country's fuel production caused by Ukrainian drone attacks on its refineries. Russian seaborne gasoline imports reached a record high of 125,000 barrels per day in August, equivalent to approximately 470,000 tonnes for the month. Indian refiners, particularly Nayara Energy, a Russian-owned company, supplied up to 1 million barrels of gasoline in the past two months. The conflict in the Gulf has led to a significant reduction in Russia's crude oil imports from other sources, prompting the nation to rely more on Russia for crude oil. As a result, Russia has had to import gasoline and diesel products while maintaining restrictions on fuel sales throughout the country.",
  "summary": "Indian refiners supplies as much as 1 million barrels of gasoline in the last two months. The supplies essentially come from Vadinar refinery in Gujarat, operated by Nayara Energy, which is half owned by Russia's Rosneft",
