Union Minister for Petroleum and Natural Gas, Hardeep Singh Puri, informed the Lok Sabha on Thursday that the country is successfully navigating the major disruption in global energy supplies following the West Asia conflict.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt on Tuesday underlined that the United States had "permitted" India to temporarily purchase Russian oil in the wake of the disruptions to global energy supplies amid the conflict in West Asia.
Crude oil prices shot up sharply, reportedly after the US President Donald Trump sought what he called "unconditional surrender" from Iran, intensifying worries about a prolonged conflict that could disrupt global energy supplies.
