据路透社2月20日报道称，两位贸易消息人士称，印度巴拉特石油公司（BPCL）已购买一批汽油货物，于3月上半月交付。

据消息人士称，BPCL上周晚些时候购买了3.5万吨91.5辛烷值汽油，较新加坡报价的成本和运费（C＆F）溢价仅为个位数。

两位消息人士称，由于燃料供应过剩，强劲的需求和低油价可能促使炼油厂进口汽油。

根据路透社的数据，BPCL去年在Kochi和Haldia进口了一批汽油，于5月交货。

Indian oil refiner BPCL buys gasoline cargo for March in rare move

India’s Bharat Petroleum Corp Ltd has bought a gasoline cargo for first-half March arrival, two trade sources said.

BPCL bought late last week 35,000 tons of 91.5-octane gasoline at a low single-digit premium to Singapore quotes on a cost-and-freight (C&F) basis, said the sources.

Both sources said strong demand and low gasoline prices amid a glut of the fuel likely prompted the refiner to import.

Based on Reuters data, BPCL last imported a gasoline cargo for arrival in May last year at Kochi and Haldia.
