This transition time is necessary to complete existing Russianoil deals and process already-booked cargoes. Indiancompanies have already secured shipments loading in February and arriving in March, making an immediate cessation of imports operationally difficult. Despite the high-level announcement, refiners noted they have not yet been ordered by the government of Indiato stop such imports.
