"India's Russian Oil Imports Wane Due to Payment Struggles and Tightening Sanctions"
TL;DR
Russian oil tankers destined for India are turning back due to payment disagreements, as India pays for Russian oil in UAE dirhams but a Rosneft unit can't accept this due to banking issues. The situation is complicated by U.S. sanctions on Russian oil trade, particularly on the tanker NS Century. India, a major buyer of Russian oil since the Ukraine invasion, faces stalled shipments and pressure to align with Western sanctions.
