The External Affairs Ministry maintained that New Delhi’s decisions are driven solely by consumer interest and energy stability, amid ongoing tensions over Western sanctions on Moscow.</p>

<p data-start="92" data-end="387">Hours after US President Donald Trump asserted that Prime Minister Narendra Modi had promised to halt India’s purchase of Russian crude oil, New Delhi issued a firm clarification—India’s oil import strategy will continue to be guided by market realities and the nation’s energy security needs.</p>
<p data-start="389" data-end="575">Responding to media queries on Trump’s remarks, <strong>External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal</strong> emphasized that India’s energy decisions are driven solely by domestic interests.</p>
<blockquote data-start="580" data-end="781">
<p data-start="582" data-end="781">“Our consistent priority has been to safeguard the interests of the Indian consumer in a volatile global energy scenario. Our import policies are guided entirely by this objective,” Jaiswal stated.</p>
</blockquote>
<p data-start="783" data-end="900">He further underscored that India’s approach remains focused on ensuring stability and security in energy supplies.</p>
<blockquote data-start="905" data-end="1124">
<p data-start="907" data-end="1124">“Ensuring stable energy prices and secured supplies have been the twin goals of our energy policy. This includes broad-basing our energy sourcing and diversifying as appropriate to meet market conditions,” he added.</p>
</blockquote>
<p data-start="1126" data-end="1298">The diplomatic tension stems from India’s continued oil trade with Russia despite Western sanctions, a move that has often strained New Delhi’s relations with Washington.</p>
<p data-start="1300" data-end="1481">In Washington, Trump told reporters that Modi had <em data-start="1350" data-end="1408">“assured me there will be no oil purchases from Russia.”</em> He conceded, however, that the reduction might not happen immediately.</p>
<blockquote data-start="1486" data-end="1621">
<p data-start="1488" data-end="1621">“It has started. He can’t do it immediately. It’s a little bit of a process, but the process is going to be over soon,” Trump said.</p>
</blockquote>
<p data-start="1623" data-end="1829" data-is-last-node="" data-is-only-node="">As the remarks ripple across international corridors, India’s clarification highlights its resolve to maintain strategic autonomy in energy decisions—balancing diplomatic pressures with economic pragmatism.</p>
