New Delhi. US President Donald Trump first increased the tariff on India to 50 percent on the basis of buying crude oil from Russia. Recently, Trump also claimed that he had talked to PM Narendra Modi and India will gradually stop buying crude oil from Russia. After Trump’s statement, American media reported that India has stopped buying crude oil from Russia. After this, Trump again imposed sanctions on two Russian oil companies. Now news channel Aaj Tak has reported that India has increased purchases from America by supporting Vladimir Putin’s country in the matter of crude oil. In such a situation, Trump can also be happy with Putin.
Kepler’s data has been cited in the news. According to Kpler data, India’s crude oil imports from the US reached a four-year high in October 2025, but it has continued to buy large quantities of crude oil from Russia. According to Kpler data, purchases from America accounted for 12 percent of India’s total crude oil imports in October. Quoting data, it has been revealed that in October, India purchased 5.68 lakh barrels of crude oil from America every day. This figure is the highest after March 2021. At the same time, in October, India bought 16.2 lakh barrels of crude oil from Russia every day. Which shows its stable import from Russia.
The ban imposed by Trump on Russian oil companies Rosneft and Lukoil is going to be effective from November 21. In such a situation, the October crude oil agreement with Russia had already been signed. According to the news, after Russia, Iraq is at number two in supplying crude oil to India. Whereas, Saudi Arabia is in third place. India is buying 8.26 lakh barrels of crude oil from Iraq every day. Whereas, Saudi Arabia is selling 6.69 barrels of crude oil to India every day. In this way, America is currently in fourth place in supplying crude oil to India. However, after November 21, a change in India’s imports is expected.
