India Monitors US Bill Proposing Tariffs on Russian Oil Buyers Amid Energy Security Focus
India is closely monitoring a proposed US bipartisan sanctions bill that could impose tariffs of up to 100% on countries importing Russian crude oil. The Ministry of External Affairs emphasized that India's energy procurement is guided by national priorities and the need to secure reliable, affordable supplies for its 1.4 billion citizens through diversified sources, including the US. While the bill aims to pressure Moscow over the Ukraine conflict, India maintains diplomatic engagement with US authorities amid concerns about potential impacts.
