Trump Rages, But India Refuses To Fall In Line; Russian Oil Continues Flowing In | World News

New Delhi: The Indian government did not instruct the oil refineries to stop buying raw from Russia despite the increasing pressure of Donald Trump, despite the increasing pressure of Donald Trump, despite the increasing pressure of Donald Trump. The statement comes days after the US President’s statements against the implementation of a 25% surprise tariff for the new Delhi’s new Delhi’s vineyards and Indian goods.

Behind the closed doors, the authorities are said to follow the situation, but no official decision was made. The refineries, which are operated by the state and belong to private property, are still supplying price and usability oil and are free to choose the most suitable suppliers for their needs. One of the officials in the new Delhi told the TV news channel, there is no restriction.

During a media interaction at the beginning of this week, Trump claimed that India “heard” that India would stop buying Russian oil. “This is a good step,” he added a change in India’s position. But the sources in the new Delhi say otherwise.

Authorities, some state refineries asked to make alternative supply calculations. People with direct information were part of the internal script planning of demand. This was not an order, it was an exercise, Washington’s pressure intensifying or if the market changes unexpectedly, preparation for ‘whatever’.

Meanwhile, a new layer of the New York Times added a new layer. Referring to two anonymous Indian officials, the newspaper said that even if Washington threatened sanctions, India will continue to buy Russian crude oil. For now, the compass points here.

India’s dependence on Russian oil has increased rapidly since the Ukrainian War. Moscow, almost any imports, was India’s best raw supplier, which constitutes about one -third of the total delivery. This pivot confused criticism in Washington and Brussels. Western leaders see purchases as a approval of the Kremlin’s war.

If the new Delhi withdraws Russian oil, the cost may be upright. Gulf oil comes at higher prices. Transportation and logistics costs are also different. One of the Bloomberg sources said that the return to these markets could inflate India’s oil bill.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi is based on energy policy. His relationship with Russian President Vladimir Putin remained warm. He only visited Moscow last month. Putin is expected to come to India this year.

Meanwhile, Indian Oil Corporation is protecting bets. The giant, run by the state, recently received 2 million more from Abu Dhabi for 5 million barrels of crude oil and short -term delivery from the USA. According to traders speaking with Bloomberg, these are not a signal of a policy shift, but standard diversification movements.

For now, the oil continues to flow. Russian barrels continue to arrive at the ports of India. Trump’s tariffs mixed the waters, but the current in the new Delhi seems to be fixed at least.
