US Removes Four Indian Companies from Russia-Related Sanctions List
The US Treasury Department has removed four Indian companies—RRG Engineering Technologies, Lokesh Machines, Galaxy Bearings, and Shaurya Aeronautics—from its sanctions list related to Russia. These firms were previously sanctioned in 2024 under Executive Order 14024 for allegedly supplying dual-use technology and equipment to Russia's military-industrial base. The Treasury did not specify reasons for their delisting. The update coincides with broader sanctions adjustments, including new designations linked to Mexican drug trafficking networks.
