New Delhi. Despite the threat of US President Donald Trump, India will continue to purchase crude oil from Russia. This news has been given by news agency Reuters. Reuters quoted government sources as saying that India has signed a long -term agreement with Russia to buy crude oil. Because of this, purchasing crude oil from Russia cannot stop immediately. Also, there is no direct restriction on Russia’s crude oil. According to the news agency, India is buying it in less than the price of Russia’s crude oil fixed by the European Union. Also, by purchasing crude oil from Russia, India is also keeping the price of petroleum products in the world under control.
Earlier, the Reuters had quoted sources as saying that from the last week of July, India’s government oil companies have stopped buying crude oil from Russia. The Reuters then reported that India stopped buying crude oil from Russia due to a discount cut from Russia and Trump’s threat. After this news of Reuters, US President Donald Trump said that he had heard that India had stopped buying crude oil from Russia. Trump described it as good. Whereas, earlier Trump had said that India is buying weapons and crude oil from Russia. Due to this, besides 25 percent tariffs, penalty will also be imposed on it.
The special thing is that the products of India have been excluded from the tariffs by Trump also have petroleum and LNG. According to government data, India exported a petroleum product of $ 4 billion to the US in 2024-2025. Apart from this, this information has also come out that since Trump became President, India has also increased the purchase of crude oil from America. The Government of India has said many times that it decides to buy crude oil only after seeing the interest of its citizens. So that the benefit of crude oil from the market can be transported to your people by purchasing it cheaply. India is the largest importer of crude oil after China. India imports 80 percent of its needs.
