This drop occurred due to strategic adjustments within its energy supply policy. <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The lowest indicator in Russian oil<\/h2>\n\n<p>The data show that imports from Russia amounted to around US$ 2.7 billion, with a relevant contraction compared to November of the same year and also in a year-on-year comparison.

With no official confirmation from New Delhi, India&#8217;s position remains focused on adjusting its imports according to prices, availability and international market conditions. <\/p>\n\n<p>Finally, the most structural fact is the increase in the number of supplier countries. During December, India purchased crude oil from 19 nations, reflecting an active diversification strategy that <strong>reduces specific dependencies<\/strong> and provides greater flexibility in the face of a changing global energy environment. <\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Source and photo: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thehindu.com\/business\/russian-oil-imports-down-to-a-38-month-low-in-december-2025-as-india-diversifies-sources\/article70598841.ece\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The Hindu<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This move is taking place while versions from Washington persist about possible changes in bilateral trade.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8404,"featured_media":334903,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_bbp_topic_count":0,"_bbp_reply_count":0,"_bbp_total_topic_count":0,"_bbp_total_reply_count":0,"_bbp_voice_count":0,"_bbp_anonymous_reply_count":0,"_bbp_topic_count_hidden":0,"_bbp_reply_count_hidden":0,"_bbp_forum_subforum_count":0,"footnotes":""},"categoria_noticias":[13026,13036],"etiqueta_noticias":[],"class_list":["post-334973","noticias","type-noticias","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","categoria_noticias-energy","categoria_noticias-oil-and-gas"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/noticias\/334973","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/noticias"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/noticias"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8404"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=334973"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/noticias\/334973\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/334903"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=334973"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"categoria_noticias","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categoria_noticias?post=334973"},{"taxonomy":"etiqueta_noticias","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/etiqueta_noticias?post=334973"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
