June 04, 2026 [Reuters]- Russia-backed Indian refiner Nayara Energy has completed the ​scheduled turnaround of its 400,000 ‌barrels per day refinery at Vadinar in western Gujarat state, it said ​in a statement on Thursday.

• Nayara’s ​Vadinar refinery accounts for about ⁠8% of India’s total refining ​capacity and approximately 7% of its ​retail fuel network.
• Apart from routine maintenance, the private refiner upgraded units to improve ​product quality and enable longer ​operating cycles between planned maintenance shutdowns.
• Russian oil major ‌Rosneft ⁠holds a stake in Nayara Energy.
• Nayara turned to meeting India’s local fuel demand instead of exports ​after the ​European ⁠Union placed the private refiner under sanctions in July ​last year.
• Nayara has been processing ​only ⁠Russian oil at its Vadinar refinery, as its other suppliers, Iraq’s SOMO ⁠and ​Saudi Aramco, halted ​supplies due to payment difficulties following sanctions.
