India Will Buy Oil From Wherever It Gets "Best Deal": Indian Envoy To Russia | Read

Indian companies will continue buying oil from wherever they get the "best deal", India's envoy to Russia Vinay Kumar has said, asserting that New Delhi will continue taking measures that protect its "national interest".

In an interview with Russia's state-run TASS news agency published Sunday, Mr Kumar said that New Delhi's priority is ensuring the energy security of the country's 1.4 billion people.

His remarks come amid US criticism of India's purchase of discounted Russian crude, a criticism which India has strongly rejected.
