What happened

Well supportedReported by 13 independent outlets

India has been purchasing discounted crude oil from Russia since June 2026, despite the ongoing international sanctions against Moscow. The purchases occur while the US considers trade measures, including the Lindsey O. Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act of 2026. This legislation allows the US President to impose additional tariffs of up to 100 per cent on goods from major buyers of Russian energy.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The reliance on oil imports means that global crude prices remain a key driver influencing the Indian rupee's movement. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) is actively working to manage the rupee's volatility against the dollar amid these pressures. The potential US tariffs introduce significant risks to India's trade balance.
