June 8 (Reuters) - India's Essar Oil, one of Iran's key Indian clients, has
significantly reduced purchases from the santions-hit nation in May and switched to Latin
American grades, which accounted for about a third of its overall imports during the month,
tanker discharge data made available to Reuters show.
Indian refiners cut imports from Iran by 38 percent in May from a year ago, in a second
month of steep reductions as they switch suppliers to cushion the impact of tighter western
sanctions on Tehran.
