The price of medium-sulfur residual fuel oil was 3600 yuan/ton, up 30 yuan/ton or 0.98% from before the holiday.

The US imposed a 25% "secondary" tariff on India last August, citing continued imports of Russian oil, and also imposed sanctions on Lukoil and Rosneft in late November. Analysts point out that while overall Indian demand for Russian oil declined in December, this was mainly due to reduced purchases by Reliance Industries. State-owned refiners, known as public sector units (PSUs), partially offset the decline in Russian oil purchases. Muyu Xu, senior crude oil analyst at tanker tracking company Kpler, stated that state-owned enterprises such as Indian Oil Corporation and Bharat Oil Corporation "are still continuing to purchase Russian oil for future deliveries through unsanctioned suppliers." Pankaj Srivastava of Rystad Energy stated, "Despite the overall decline in imports, the resilience of public sector refinery reception of Russian oil suggests a redistribution of demand rather than a collapse."
