Domestic demand grows about 5% a year, so roughly 200,000 of the 300,000 new barrels a day can be exported — those cargoes will shrink the premium that Europe and Africa pay. Reliance is the most exposed because its export-only Jamnagar refinery shipped 489,000 barrels a day of diesel in September and escaped the roughly $37 a barrel export levy that state refiners pay. Reliance will likely surrender a share of India's fuel exports, from over 70% to about 60%, to Indian Oil and Hindustan Petroleum, because the Jamnagar refinery’s 700,000 barrels a day capacity is already maxed out. ![Actors and decision makers affecting Reliance Industries’ diesel export margins](https://cms.bilby.ai/api/media/file/adt-2026-10-29-prediction-195.png?prefix=cms-media) [Ask Bilby about this prediction](https://pulse.bilby.ai/?prompt=Reliance%20Industries%E2%80%99%20diesel%20export%20margins%20will%20come%20under%20pressure%20in%202027%2C%20putting%20roughly%20US%246%20billion%20in%20annual%20gross%20profit%20at%20risk.) ## Ask Bilby about it Carry the prediction into a question: what has changed since, who decides, and who is exposed. - [What has changed since it was made?](https://pulse.bilby.ai/?prompt=What%20has%20changed%20since%20Bilby%20predicted%20this%3F%20Reliance%20Industries%E2%80%99%20diesel%20export%20margins%20will%20come%20under%20pressure%20in%202027%2C%20putting%20roughly%20US%246%20billion%20in%20annual%20gross%20profit%20at%20risk.) - [Who decides whether it happens?](https://pulse.bilby.ai/?prompt=Who%20decides%20whether%20this%20happens%3F%20Reliance%20Industries%E2%80%99%20diesel%20export%20margins%20will%20come%20under%20pressure%20in%202027%2C%20putting%20roughly%20US%246%20billion%20in%20annual%20gross%20profit%20at%20risk.) - [Who gains and who loses if it does?](https://pulse.bilby.ai/?prompt=Who%20gains%20and%20who%20loses%20if%20this%20happens%3F%20Reliance%20Industries%E2%80%99%20diesel%20export%20margins%20will%20come%20under%20pressure%20in%202027%2C%20putting%20roughly%20US%246%20billion%20in%20annual%20gross%20profit%20at%20risk.) ## More from India 18 predictions on India so far, newest first. - 15 Oct 2026 · [India will avoid new US tariffs under the Graham Act when President Trump makes his decision on 18 October.](https://bilby.ai/predictions/p/167/india-will-avoid-new-us-tariffs-under-the-graham-act-when-president-trump-makes-) · True - 14 Oct 2026 · [India’s state-owned power producer NTPC will fail to secure binding green ammonia or methanol export contracts by the end of 2027, forgoing US$120 million a year in export premiums.](https://bilby.ai/predictions/p/163/india-s-state-owned-power-producer-ntpc-will-fail-to-secure-binding-green-ammoni) · Unresolved - 12 Oct 2026 · [Natco Pharma’s cancer-drug sales in India will fall 20% by March 2027.](https://bilby.ai/predictions/p/161/natco-pharma-s-cancer-drug-sales-in-india-will-fall-20-by-march-2027) · Unresolved [All 18 from India](https://bilby.ai/predictions/log?tag=india) · Marked true or false when each resolves ## See what we’re seeing next.
