Russia prepared to divert oil to India as war disrupts flows

Russia is ready to divert oil to India to offset Middle East supply disruptions, with about 9.5 million barrels of Russian crude in vessels near Indian waters and able to arrive within weeks, an industry source with direct knowledge told Reuters. The source declined to say where the non Russian fleet cargoes were originally headed but said they could deliver to India within weeks, giving refiners rapid relief.
