TOKYO -- India's dependence on Russian oil has increased to account for 30% of its imported total in March, according to a Nikkei analysis of shipping data.
India, which had previously relied almost exclusively on the Middle East, imported more than 6 million tonnes of Russian oil last month. Western sanctions stemming from Moscow's invasion of Ukraine have made oil from Russia relatively inexpensive, leading to the shift in procurement.
