  Like last time they helped India?
context: Must be one hell of a discount. >
  
  Could be an ideal time to invest the money made from profit to become less dependant on oil energetically. So when price rise up again, they wouldn't even see the difference. >
  
  "We lost business in the EU, the Americas, Australia, Japan, and South Korea, you know, 9 of the top 10 economies in the world, but India. India is our saving grace. India is the shining light that will lead our economy to victory."
  And didn't they make this claim last August, and them suddenly India bought other oil? >
  
  India is not dumb, they know russia has no other customers in medium term so they are buying the oil on discount because they know russia has no other choice. 
  Countries will always use the opportunity for saving money especially on energy. India would only boycott if russia interferes in its sphere of influence like attacking nepal. >
  
  I think India are a disgrace for doing it, however, having decided to buy it, if smart they should buy enough to have oil reserves that last years whikst they also move to renewables >
  
  Do you always get this emotionally involved in the current geopolitical crisis? >
  
  And we buy oil from India. So we are actually buying Russian oil. >
  
  Well, they're selling it IN the USA. There's a bit of a difference. This isn't the US unilaterally buying oil from India. I can't tell if it's companies in New York buying the oil. Is it the State government? Is it the city? There's a difference. >
  
  It's the same in India, government doesn't buy any oil directly , companies buy the oil based on best option available. Capitalism! >
  
  Indian Oil Corporation is Indian government owned. >
  
  Reliance Industries Limited is privately owned. >
  
  And? There is no state owned oil company in the US. So, it is not the same. Geez. >
  
  Oh yeah i think u forgot u got that deep state controlling everything there. >
  
  What the fuck is wrong with you? IOC is state owned and therefore the Indian government is buying oil directly from Russia. Why lie about it? And, therefore it is supporting the Russian war on Ukraine. Downvotes aren't going to change facts. >
  
  Oil market is shared between government and private enterprises. But defence is completely government owned we are buying weapons from western markets that money you guys are using to fund ukraine, so now u can say we are double dipping as well and have actually forced ukraine and russia to keep fighting. >
  
  Key word russia has become indias biggest supplier and not india has became Russia's buyer >
  
  the indians view themselves as neutral. they don't think it's their obligation to intervene in politics of other nations. one of their politicians said this "europe need to grow out of the mindset that europe's problems are the world problems but europe's problems aren't the world problems".
  honestly i don't blame them. i wouldn't want my country to go to war with an african country fighting a war with another just because i want to look rightous. i prefer not being involved in unnecessary trouble.
  edit:
  woahhh!! this comment reply section turned into a war down here, didn't it? >
  
  I wonder if those same people would be crying for international help if India were at war with China or Pakistan
