Focusing on national interests, India's energy procurement policy underscores the importance of energy security. With the proposed US sanctions bill against Russian oil importers on the radar, New Delhi is attentive to safeguarding its energy supplies. The country is dedicated to achieving reliable and affordable energy through diverse sourcing avenues while maintaining cooperative dialogues with US officials regarding this evolving situation.

GTRI says India should base Russian oil imports on economic interests and energy security, not US tariff threats, while resolving differences through dialogue.

India is monitoring a US Bill proposing 100% tariffs on Russian energy buyers, emphasizing its national energy security interests.
