ProcIntel Risk Index (PRI) PRI indicates how much procurement risk attention a canonical event warrants, based on its potential impact, corroboration, linked-entity criticality, geographic or regulatory exposure, and confidence in the available evidence. — 26 · Low Freshness: Ageing DATA QUALITY WARNING

PRI: 26 — LOW Base risk 58/100 × Low confidence multiplier (0.45). Highest contributor: Significance 71/100, normalised to this factor's 40-point cap (+28 of 40). Limiting factor: Linked-entity criticality 0/100, normalised to this factor's 30-point cap -- DATA QUALITY WARNING: all linked entities data insufficient (30 points below its maximum).

Source Facts

India's fuel exports hit a one-year peak in July, driven by strong diesel margins. Russia's diesel export ban and global supply voids created favorable conditions for Indian refiners. Ample crude availability after a brief Iran-US truce also boosted refinery runs. Refineries like Reliance Industries and Nayara Energy processed more crude volumes. These factors combined to maximize Indian refiners' export capabilities last month.
