Indian companies have changed the currency used to pay for oil from Russia
48
Energy companies operating in India have switched to paying for Russian oil in the UAE currency, dirhams. This is reported by the news agency Reuters.
According to the agency, this decision was made by Indian companies in order to avoid possible problems with Western countries that had previously imposed anti-Russian sanctions. Now Indian refiners are purchasing Russian oil from UAE traders. Everest Energy and Litasco play a key role in oil sales.
As you know, India did not join the sanctions against Russia. But local companies are forced to be very careful in their activities so as not to fall under Western sanctions themselves. Therefore, banks and other financial institutions are extremely attentive to clearing payments.
At the same time, India remains, along with China, after the imposition of anti-Russian sanctions by the West, one of the most important buyers of Russian oil. Russian companies are also extremely interested in the Indian market, regardless of the currency in which local companies pay for the purchased oil.
Indian Oil Minister Pankaj Jai said earlier that the country has no problems in paying for oil from Russia. Western sanctions, according to the head of the oil department, do not affect trade settlements between Indian and Russian companies.
