"Russia is offering oil and other commodities at a heavy discount. We will be happy to take that," one of the Indian government officials said.
The official added that such trade required preparatory work including transportation, insurance cover and getting the right blend of crude, but once that was done India would take Russia up on its offer.
Poor country, long term relationship with Russia, and the US needs India for the Indo PacificRussia may have found a buyer for its cheap oil: India | CNN Business
India may take up a Russian offer to buy crude oil and other commodities at a discount, two Indian officials said, in a sign that Delhi wants to keep its key trading partner on board despite Western attempts to isolate Moscow through sanctions.www.cnn.com

It seems India is heavily dependent upon Putin for arms & oil, to the point it the Indians will take advantage of the situation, to the detriment of the West's sanctions.

Oy Vey!

US needs allies to counter China.
Look at India's per capita, and tell me they should pay higher oil prices?

Modi always was a ****.
Modi always was a ****.
Perhaps, but it didn't start with him. India has had very close bilateral ties with Russia since it gained its independence from the British Empire.
Foreign investment is always going to be a dicey topic wrought with complication, when it comes to India.India spent several billion dollars campaigning for American business to "MAKE IN INDIA" and several tens of billions modernizing Hyderabad and a couple of
other technology satellite cities to create a friendly environment for the free world to manufacture in as an alternative to China.
Meanwhile CHINA is actually preparing to lead the world in electric vehicles, and India is in no position to cling to their old polluting ways, with their old polluting
Hindostan taxicabs and 2-stroke tuk-tuks, so if they need Russian oil, it's because "Thoroughly Modern Modi" isn't quite as modern as he says he is, MAKE IN INDIA
isn't as genuine as it wants people to think it is, and by siding too closely with Russia, they are sending a message that the free world should not expect stability in India.

Four words: East India Trading Company.
If we’re not willing to cross China on trade with Russia, I’m not seeing why we would have a different position on India or indeed anyone else who trades with Russia.Then India should get the saem treatment.
I agree. I’d like to see them do better. India’s central governance is extraordinarily weak by Western standards - the ‘Modi-is-dictatorial!’ garbage is laughable to anyone who actually knows India - but this means it’s fairly ineffectual at crafting policy and fighting momentum to change course. China’s ability to effect change in an instant is the reason they’ve run circles around India. I dislike this but, well, that’s where India is.Yabbut that's precisely my point, thanks...why would India want to reinforce that negativity?
I realize that they have to depend on a certain amount of Russian oil, they always have.
But they need to be careful about signaling to the West that they're all in and fully in the tank
with going beyond that.
We should be.If we’re not willing to cross China on trade with Russia
