【文/观察者网 张菁娟】美国总统特朗普口中的"承诺"，似乎正由印度炼油商用行动验证。 据路透社8日报道，为促成美印贸易协议落地，印度核心炼油企业已暂停采购俄油，而印度政府始终闭 口不提相关计划。 上周五（6日），美国白宫发布声明称，美印已就互惠互利贸易达成临时协议框架。双方希望在3月前敲 定该协议，以降低关税、深化经济合作。 炼油及贸易行业消息人士透露，印度炼油商已调整采购策略，正规避4月交付的俄油订单，且停购态势 或将持续。 一位接触过相关炼油企业的贸易商表示，印度国有炼油企业印度石油公司、巴拉特石油公司及印度最大 的私营炼油商信实工业，均不接受贸易商提供的3月、4月装船的俄油报价。 不过，炼油行业消息人士介绍说，这些炼油商此前已敲定部分3月交付的俄罗斯石油订单，目前其他多 数炼油商已停止采购俄油。 值得一提的是，印度政府未宣布停止进口俄罗斯石油的计划，面对外界关于俄油采购的追问，印度官方 也始终保持模糊态度。 上述三大炼油商及印度石油部均拒绝回应置评请求，印度贸易部长7日则将相关问题转交外交部处理。 印度外交部发言人既未承认也未否认停购俄油的举动，仅称"依据客观市场状况及不断变化的国际局 势，实现能源供应 ...

面对这一沉重打击，印度政府的反应显得异常激烈，外交部门强烈抨击这是不公平且不合理的贸易惩罚。然而，面对美国绝对的市场准入权，印度的愤怒显 得有些苍白。美国是印度最大的出口市场之一，尤其是在IT服务、纺织品和仿制药领域，印度的产品高度依赖北美客户。当关税大棒落下，印度政府的选择 变得非常明确：要么放弃俄罗斯的廉价石油，要么失去美国的巨大市场。 在极限施压下，印度企业的反应则更加直接。在2025年11月，信实工业作为印度最大的民营炼油商，也是全球最大的单体炼油厂运营商，最终做出了停止进 口俄罗斯石油的决定。信实为什么做出这一选择？因为它是完全的外向型企业，其精炼产品高度依赖欧美市场。当美国挥出了50%的关税大棒，并威胁要将 制裁范围扩大到具体企业时，信实不得不在廉价原油和生存资格之间做出选择。尽管俄罗斯石油每桶便宜10至15美元，但所带来的差价利润，正被美国的 50%惩罚性关税所吞噬。印度确实可以继续购买俄罗斯石油，但若因此失去进入美国市场的资格，造成的GDP损失将远远超过能源套利所得。与此同时，美 国并未把所有的路都堵死。在加大制裁的同时，华盛顿向印度提供了一个诱人的选择：愿意向印度出售美国能源。这一信号清晰地 ...

尼泊尔《加德满都邮报》2月4日报道: 近几周来，加德满都谷地持续面临液化石油气短缺，消费者购买困难。尼泊尔石油公司解释，短缺主因 是印度巴劳尼炼油厂进行维护，导致常规供应减少，尼泊尔被迫转而从更远的帕拉迪普炼油厂采购，运 输时间从三天延长至十天，造成物流延误。尽管该公司声称实际供应缺口并不大，但冬季需求上升及消 费者因恐慌而囤积气瓶的行为加剧了市场紧张，居民生活因此受到直接影响。此次短缺也反映出供应层 面的结构性挑战，尼泊尔石油公司已采取增加进口配额等措施以缓解问题。进口数据显示，本财年上半 年（截至1月中旬），尼泊尔液化石油气进口量为274,805吨，价值270亿卢比，较去年同期下降9%。作 为对比，上一财年全年进口量为554,612吨，价值625.8亿卢比，此次供应中断发生在整体进口量已呈下 降趋势的背景下。 ...
