Union Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal stated on Saturday that the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) will share information regarding India’s procurement of Russian oil. This comment came in response to a question about whether India plans to stop buying Russian oil, following a White House announcement about removing additional tariffs imposed on India related to these purchases.
Goyal did not provide further details but indicated that the MEA is the appropriate authority to address queries on this matter.
**Why this matters**
India’s purchase of Russian oil has been under international scrutiny amid global sanctions and geopolitical tensions. The White House’s decision to lift tariffs on India signals a shift in U.S. policy, making clarity on India’s stance and future plans important for diplomatic and trade relations.
