In the light of extremely harsh Western economic sanctions against Russia for its invasion of Ukraine, India is reportedly persuading Moscow to provide further discounts on crude oil. India wants to pay below $70/barrel to compensate for its risks in trading with the OPEC+ producer. Discounts are being sought to make up for difficulties like obtaining financing for purchases due to the Western sanctions.
