According to data from analytics firm Kpler, Russia remained India’s top supplier of oil in September, despite heavy pressure from the United States for India to scale back its imports and choke off Russian President Vladimir Putin’s funding for his war in Ukraine.
India is also repairing its relations with China by restoring direct flights between the two nations for the first time in five years.
Kpler’s data showed India imported 1.6 billion barrels per day (bpd) of oil from Russia in September, a decline of only six percent from the 1.7 million bpd India purchased in August. India is still getting about a third of its oil from Russia.
