Specifically, according to Mr. Novak, the oil price was recently at 95 USD/barrel but is currently fluctuating between 85-90 USD/barrel. The Russian Deputy Prime Minister noted that by 2035, the oil price will increase to 100 USD/barrel.

Earlier, it was reported that the discount Russia gave India on oil prices had nearly doubled after the country's state-owned refiners reduced purchases to put pressure on suppliers.

The discount has increased to $8-10 a barrel since the start of the year, sources said. This has boosted imports, with Russia’s share of India’s total crude imports reaching 38% in September, up from 33% in August.

Indian state refiners, which account for two-thirds of purchases, increased imports from Russia by 25% in September after a 30% drop in August. At the same time, they buy Russian oil mainly from non-Russian traders to get bigger discounts and avoid payment problems.
