US EditionWhy Did EU Sanction Nayara Energy's Vadinar Refinery in Gujarat? What We Know so Far
INDIA, JUL 19 – India opposes EU sanctions on its Vadinar refinery, citing energy security and rejecting unilateral measures outside the UN framework, with Russian oil accounting for nearly 36% of India's imports.
- On Friday, the Government of India rejected EU sanctions, citing concerns over unilateral measures and emphasizing energy security priorities.
- Highlighting energy dependency, New Delhi argued that the provision of energy security is a responsibility of paramount importance to meet the basic needs of its citizens, Randhir Jaiswal said, emphasizing no double standards in energy trade.
- The new sanctions include lower oil price caps from USD 60 to USD 47.6 per barrel, EU said, and target Nayara Energy’s Vadinar refinery in Gujarat with Rosneft's stake.
- According to India’s energy ministry, the move could severely affect Nayara Energy’s Vadinar Refinery and India’s fuel exports to Europe, as Randhir Jaiswal said, `securing the energy needs of our people is understandably an overriding priority for us.`
- As Indian negotiators hold talks in Washington, with US President Donald Trump threatening 100% tariffs on Russia’s trading partners and NATO chief Mark Rutte warning of secondary sanctions, India resists unilateral measures.
