India has signaled it will continue purchasing oil from Russia, despite warnings from United States President Donald Trump about possible tariffs and additional import taxes. The Indian foreign ministry emphasized the country's longstanding relationship with Russia and stated that its energy decisions are based on market availability and global conditions. India has significantly increased its imports of Russian crude since 2022, making Russia its largest oil supplier at one point. The shift comes as India seeks to secure affordable energy amid changing global dynamics following Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
