NEW DELHI/MOSCOW (Reuters) - Indian Oil Corp has bought 1 million barrels of March-loading Urals crude via a tender in India's first purchase of this Russian grade in a year, two sources close to the matter said on Monday.

India last lifted a cargo of Russian Urals in February 2014, Thomson Reuters trade flows data showed.
