Putin Pledges Uninterrupted Oil Flows To India, Questions US Policy As Both Nations Set $100 Billion Trade Goal

Russia aims to grow trade with India to $100 billion by 2030 while India balances fuel imports amid US tariffs and sanctions, with state refiners securing discounted Russian oil.

  • On Thursday, Russian President Vladimir Putin offered India `uninterrupted fuel supplies` during a two-day state visit to New Delhi ending today.
  • Russia has set a $100 billion trade target by 2030, saying discussions pushed wider economic integration including use of national currencies and an early preferential trade pact with the Eurasian Economic Union after the first negotiation round last week.
  • In 2024, Russia supplied nearly 36 per cent of India's crude imports, around 1.8 million barrels per day, while bilateral trade reached US$68.7 billion in 2024-25 and Indian exports were only US$4.88 billion.
  • India appeared cautious and its foreign secretary said energy firms base decisions on evolving market dynamics; Indian Oil Corp and Bharat Petroleum Corp placed January loading orders amid widening discounts as energy imports fall this month.
  • They signed deals and Prime Minister Narendra Modi said, `We have agreed on an economic cooperation program until 2030`, focusing on defence R&D and local production.
