Business in Russia
The State Bank of India (SBI) has stopped trading and foreign exchange operations with Nayara Energy, an oil refiner that is almost half-owned by Rosneft, in a move to avoid potential sanctions implications. Russia-backed Indian refiner Nayara Energy has ramped up crude processing at its Vadinar refinery to 90% to 93% of capacity.
Decision trail
Decision date 03/06/2022 · Reference ↗
Snapped cheap Russian oil through spot deals. Rosneft, Russia's largest oil company, is in talks to sell a stake in India's Nayara Energy. Rosneft has already valued Nayara Energy at more than $20 billion and has held talks with Reliance Industries, Adani, JSW Group and Saudi Aramco. Europe has imposed sanctions on Indian company Nayara Energy, threatening its sale. Rosneft has held talks with Reliance Industries Ltd., owned by billionaire Mukesh Ambani, about a possible sale of a stake in Nayara. The sanctions will make it more difficult for Reliance to buy a stake in a competitor, as it could jeopardize the company's business in Europe, a region that regularly imports Indian fuels, including diesel. CEO of Russia-backed Indian refiner Nayara resigns after EU sanctions, sources say.
