Reliance will not export products made from Russian crude: The company will comply with European Union sanctions; it will continue to purchase oil for domestic use.

Reliance Industries Limited has completely stopped using Russian crude at its export-only (SEZ) refinery in Jamnagar. The company stated that Russian crude imports have been halted at the SEZ unit since November 20th. Starting December 1st, all fuel exports from there will be made from non-Russian crude.

However, Reliance will continue to use Russian crude oil for domestic use. The company has taken this decision to comply with European Union sanctions. From January 2026, no products made from Russian crude will be sold in the European Union.

Russian oil will be discontinued at the export-only refinery.

Reliance’s Jamnagar complex has two refineries: an SEZ unit that only exports and an older unit that supplies the domestic market. The company said that the SEZ unit is currently processing old Russian crude inventory. Once that is exhausted, new production will be solely from non-Russian crude.

Russian oil will be used for domestic use. A Reliance spokesperson said, “The import of Russian crude has been stopped at the SEZ refinery from November 20th. From December 1st, all product exports from here will be made from non-Russian crude. He said that Russian crude cargoes committed till October 22nd are being honored.

The last cargo was loaded on November 12th. Russian cargoes arriving on or after November 20th will be processed at the Domestic Tariff Area (DTA) refinery.
