India is now the biggest buyer of Russian oil in the world. This change in the global energy market happened because of political and economic reasons.
After Western countries put sanctions on Russia over the Ukraine conflict, India took advantage of cheaper Russian oil. This helped India improve its energy security and find new sources of oil.
This decision fits with India’s increasing need for energy and its plan to depend less on traditional oil suppliers from the Middle East. India’s position as a major buyer of Russian oil shows important changes in global energy partnerships and will probably affect the international oil market for a long time.
