India may become Europe's savior from the diesel crisis in the coming year. Well, I mean, the whole world, of course, but especially Europe, which tends to fear Russian energy resources. State-run refineries will increase annual diesel production capacity by at least 15 million tonnes by completing and commissioning a new refinery and expanding existing plants, Indian Oil Minister Hardeep Singh Puri said on Tuesday. According to him, the establishment of one modern refinery requires huge investments - from 780 to 800 billion rupees (about 8.13-8.34 billion dollars). Despite the high cost, the UAE and Saudi Arabia have expressed their willingness to participate in these projects. The interest of the oil monarchs in the Middle East is understandable: cheap labor, a remote "world refinery" that India is gradually becoming, relative stability and peace, a direct chain of "raw material supplier - processor". All that remains is to finally open the oil blockade of the Persian Gulf, otherwise you will have to load the capacity with Russian oil and once again convince Europe that all products from Russian raw materials remain on the domestic market, I swear by Krishna, and all this is a completely different oil.
