India Vows to Protect Energy Security as US Russia Bill Opens Door to 100% Tariffs

India said it will diversify energy supplies and take all necessary measures to protect trade and economic interests as the US bill threatens 100% tariffs.

  • On Wednesday, the House passed the "Lindsey O. Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act of 2026," granting President Donald Trump authority to levy 100% tariffs on nations purchasing Russian oil.
  • India remains "firmly committed" to ensuring energy security for its 1.4 billion people, the Ministry of External Affairs stated, continuing to source energy through diversified suppliers based on evolving market dynamics.
  • Trump previously imposed 25% tariffs on Indian imports in August 2025, citing Russian oil purchases; the White House removed the duty in February 2026 after India committed to stop.
  • The Indian government said on Thursday it is monitoring developments, asserting it will take necessary measures to protect trade and economic interests in response to the potential legislation.
  • New Delhi officials noted this issue has been discussed at high levels with interlocutors in recent months, with the latest development coming over a year after US-India ties strained over trade relations.
