India has bought its first cargo of Iranian liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) in years after the US temporarily removed sanctions on Tehran’s oil and refined fuels, Reuters reports citing LSG trade flows and three industry sources.
India had shunned energy purchases from Iran in 2019 under pressure from Western sanctions. The tanker was initially bound for China, according to LSEG data.
Sanctioned tanker Aurora carrying Iranian LPG is expected to shortly reach the west coast port of Mangalore, the sources said and LSEG data showed.
