‘India imports less oil from Russia in the afternoon than Europe does,’ says Jaishankar.

External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar said on Monday that India’s entire oil purchases from Russia in a month are likely less than what Europe buys in an afternoon.

“I noticed you mention buying oil. If you’re considering purchasing electricity from Russia, I’d recommend focusing your efforts on Europe. We do purchase some electricity, as it is required for our energy security. However, based on the numbers, I believe our total purchases for the month will be less than what Europe purchases in an afternoon “When asked about India’s oil purchase from Russia, Jaishankar told a reporter.
