Indian refineries have the right to continue buying oil from Russia, as the country’s authorities have not decided on a ban.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This<\/span> was reported by<\/span><\/a> Bloomberg.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to sources, the purchase of crude oil in Russia remains a commercial decision that both state-owned and private refineries make at their discretion.<\/span><\/p>\n

At the same time, last week, Indian refineries were instructed to develop a plan for purchasing non-Russian raw materials, in particular, the companies had to find alternative ways to obtain oil and determine possible purchase volumes.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, as noted, India currently continues to buy Russian oil, despite threats from US President Donald Trump.<\/span><\/p>\n

Reducing or stopping oil purchases from Russia will force India to source its oil from other countries, including the Persian Gulf countries, where oil is much more expensive.<\/span><\/p>\n

As a reminder, US President Donald Trump announced the introduction of new tariffs for India<\/a> : from August 1, the country will have to pay 25%. He explained that India buys most of its military equipment from Russia and, together with China, is one of the largest consumers of Russian energy.<\/p>\n

It is worth adding that Oil Minister Hardeep Singh Puri said that India will be able to meet its oil needs from alternative sources<\/a> if Russian supplies are cut off by US sanctions.<\/p>\n

Earlier, India’s state-owned oil refining companies temporarily stopped purchasing Russian oil<\/a> after US President Donald Trump threatened to impose 100% tariffs on countries that continue to buy energy resources from Moscow.<\/p>\n
