Russia has significantly increased oil supply to India in response to disruptions from the conflict in West Asia. Indian imports of Russian crude oil nearly doubled following the outbreak of conflict, reaching 2.25 million barrels per day. The Indian government emphasizes the importance of multiple energy suppliers to maintain affordable energy supply for its population. India is raising concerns about tariffs imposed on Russian oil amid ongoing geopolitical issues.
