According to analysts, this increase in imports changes the balance to global energy market. New Delhi is seizing the opportunity created by the rerouting of Russian oil flows and thereby strengthening its own energy independence.
The increase in supplies confirms that Russian oil industry remains resilient despite international pressure. For India, this step means not only economic benefit, but also an increase in its political weight in the region, where energy is becoming an instrument of foreign policy.
Thus, the energy partnership between Moscow and New Delhi continues to develop, demonstrating that the Western sanctions policy has not been able to isolate Russian oil from the world market.
