The higher purchase from Russia has come at the cost of West Asia, according to industry sources and the shipping data.

Russian oil constituted 45.4 per cent of India's daily purchase of 4.63 million barrels in June, as against 40.7 per cent in May and 31.7 per cent in January, when Washington unleashed more sanctions.

Russia had a record 45.8 per cent share of the Indian oil import in May last year.

The share of West Asia, led by Iraq and Saudi Arabia, in India's crude oil basket was just 36 per cent last month as against 39 per cent in May and nearly 50 per cent in January.
