Indian insurance companies not covering storage of Iranian oil: IOC official

Reuters  |  NEW DELHI 

(Reuters) - Indian insurers are not offering coverage policies for storage of Iranian oil, an Indian Corp Ltd said, owing to impending U.S. sanctions on import of crude from Iran, which are expected to kick in on Nov. 4.

"Insurance companies are providing for asset cover but are not covering the crude kept in storage," the said on condition of anonymity.
