What is the significance of Nayara Energy completing the turnaround at its Vadinar refinery?

Nayara Energy has completed the scheduled turnaround of its 400,000 barrels per day Vadinar refinery in Gujarat — a facility that accounts for about 8% of India's total refining capacity and approximately 7% of its retail fuel network. The turnaround included routine maintenance and unit upgrades aimed at improving product quality and enabling longer operating cycles between planned shutdowns.

How have international sanctions affected Nayara Energy's operations and supply chain?

Following EU sanctions imposed in July last year, Nayara Energy shifted focus from exports to meeting India's local fuel demand and began processing only Russian oil at Vadinar; its other suppliers — Iraq's SOMO and Saudi Aramco — halted supplies due to payment difficulties arising from the sanctions.
