Agree for overall, but even if India bought oil for $35 discount, $88 (WTI) - $35 = $53, it seems to still profitable price. Also anyway there are fixed costs. So technically if everyone don't buy Russian oil, it's better for sanction but some people in developing country will die. https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/business/international-b...

This says $20 discount https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-india-60783874

$20 is also huge.

Don’t forget that it’s also far more expensive for Russia to send oil to India.

They don’t have oil pipelines to India. Their oil is being shipped to India, but their ports are all located on their Northern coast which means every round trip takes days and weeks longer than they used to when supplying the likes of Europe, which means they need more tankers to supply the same amount of oil to India than they would Europe.
