INDIA will continue purchasing oil from Russia, as energy policy is driven by national interest and affordability rather than any external geo-political pressure, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman has said.
"We will continue to buy Russian oil. It's been made clear. We will take a call on what suits us best. Whether it is Russian oil or anything else, it's our decision which suits our needs," said Sitharaman during an interview to a private news channel.
