India has reportedly approached the United States seeking an extension of the waiver allowing imports of Russian crude oil, which is set to expire on May 16. The request comes amid disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz and rising global energy concerns. The Congress accused the Modi government of compromising India’s energy security under US pressure. Despite sanctions-related restrictions, India’s Russian oil imports remain elevated. Reports also suggest India declined certain Russia-linked LNG cargoes falling under US sanctions amid growing geopolitical tensions.
