India is facing mounting pressure from the European Union and the United States to reduce or halt its imports of Russian oil, as new sanctions target countries and companies refining Russian crude. Major Indian refiners like Reliance Industries and Nayara Energy are now under scrutiny, with the EU threatening secondary sanctions and trade restrictions. Despite this, Indian officials, including Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri, have reiterated that the country's top priority is ensuring affordable and reliable energy for its population, rejecting what they call Western 'double standards.' As Russian oil discounts dwindle and sanctions tighten, Indian refiners are exploring alternative suppliers and adjusting payment systems, but remain firm on maintaining strategic autonomy in energy policy. The situation highlights the geopolitical complexities of global energy markets and India's balancing act between economic interests and international pressure.
