In a statement, Microsoft said it is "committed to supporting all its customers in India and worldwide and has restored services for Nayara Energy." The company also said, "We are engaged in ongoing discussions with the European Union towards service continuity for the organisation."

Nayara Energy runs fuel retail outlets in India. It is nearly 49% owned by Russia's Rosneft, while the rest is mostly owned by an Indian group backed by foreign companies Trafigura and UCP Investment Group.
