India's government scrambles to contain economic fallout from Trump's tariff threats, seeking ways to limit damage and ease tensions.

But while the Indian government may not be deterred by Trump's threats, sources told Reuters this week that Indian state refiners stopped buying Russian oil after July discounts narrowed to their lowest since 2022 - when sanctions were first imposed on Moscow - due to lower Russian exports and steady demand.

India is unlikely to stop buying cheap Russian oil despite threats from US President Donald Trump. The government says it will keep choosing affordable energy for Indian consumers, based on national interest and market logic.
