Russia may resume diesel fuel exports if the country faces overproduction of the fuel domestically, Deputy Prime Minister Novak said, according to a report from TASS.
Novak said that Russia does not intend to accumulate excessive fuel stockpiles, noting that doing so would risk causing a decline in refining activity and the output of other petroleum products.
Balancing supply and production
According to the report, the comments reflect an effort by Russian officials to manage the balance between domestic fuel supply, refining capacity and export policy. Russia has at various points restricted fuel exports to help stabilize domestic supply.
The report did not specify a timeline for any potential resumption of diesel exports or provide figures on current fuel production or stockpile levels.
