India to keep buying Russian oil, 'waiver or no waiver' from US — Indian ministry

Russian oil will continue to flow into India, notwithstanding US sanctions waivers, Sujata Sharma, Joint Secretary in the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas, told a news conference.

"Regarding the American waiver on Russia, I would like to emphasize that we purchased from Russia before the waiver, during the waiver, and now also. It's about commercial interests, which remain the basis for purchases by oil companies," she said.

"Waiver or no waiver, it will not affect our supplies, and all efforts have made to ensure this," the official noted, adding that in India "there is no shortage of crude, the reserves are there."
