Exclusive: Ex-Finance Secy Subhash Garg On Russian Oil, Trump's Tariff Pressure & India's Stand

In an exclusive interview with NDTV's Allister D'Souza, former Finance Secretary of India Subhash Chandra Garg breaks down the U.S.-India flashpoint over Russian oil. A CLSA report suggests India's gains from buying Russian crude may be smaller than claimed. With discounts narrowing compared to last year, should India rethink its stance or would backing off only embolden Washington? U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent first accused India of "profiteering" from Russian oil but later praised ties, calling the U.S. the largest economy and India the largest democracy. Is this praise-and-criticism mix a signal or a strategy? Subhash Chandra Garg decodes the economics, the diplomacy, and India's options ahead.
