India is ready for long-term oil supplies from the Russian Far East

An ambitious project is being discussed in the Indian media that is related to plans to transport crude oil from Russia to Indian ports. This is a preliminary agreement, which was discussed during a meeting between Vladimir Putin and Narendra Modi in Vladivostok last year.

New contracts would allow to increase the volume of trade between the Russian Federation and India from the current $ 11 billion to $ 30 billion by 2025.



The Indian press notes that "the outline of an intergovernmental agreement" has already been created, which is aimed at the process of direct import of Russian oil by India. At the initial stage, India imports two million tons of oil from Russia. Then it is planned to increase the supply volumes and make these deliveries long-term, the readiness for which is expressed by the Indian partners.

At the same time, it is planned to enable Indian companies to engage in geological exploration in the Far East of Russia together with their Russian colleagues.

Today, India satisfies about 80% of all its oil needs through imports. A significant share in this market was occupied by oil from Iran. But with the resumption of the US sanctions regime against Tehran, the situation for New Delhi worsened.

To cover the growing needs of the Indian economy in hydrocarbons, a large-scale project is being prepared for implementation, in which oil from the ports of the Far East will go to Indian customers.

    This is a good thing, but oil and gas are not endless, because the descendants have to leave something.

          India’s direct import process of Russian oil. At the initial stage, India imports two million tons of oil from Russia. Then it is planned to increase the supply volumes and make these deliveries long-term.

          Maybe in this case, let the Indians lay the pipe to themselves? Or again Russia on its loan issued to India? And then they will twist their tail again, as with other military orders?

        30-35 thousand years ago, proto-Aryans, the progenitors of Vedic knowledge, became the founders of the ancestral home of modern humanity, Arctida and Hyperborea. Traditions of the ancient Aryans indicate that the inhabitants of Arctida had high growth, a well-developed and harmonious body, blond hair and a bluish color of skin and eyes.

        So - nifiga. Gypsies.)))

      The article does not talk about help, but about the possibility for the Indians to do geological exploration.

      Geological exploration is not only oil and gas. That is, specialists from India can get practice in the search for natural resources.

      This is actually quite hard work. Rummaging through the taiga, carrying a backpack with a bunch of stones. If there is an Indian who will carry a backpack with stones behind you, that's great laughing
