India Strengthens Energy Security with Russian Oil Imports

India Strengthens Energy Security with Russian Oil Imports

India has been working hard to make sure it has enough oil.

It has been buying a lot of oil from Russia, which is cheaper because of some problems in other parts of the world.

This has helped India fill up its oil storage and keep its factories running.

But there is a problem: most of this oil comes through a very important sea route called the Bab el-Mandeb Strait.

If something happens to this route, it could cause big problems for India, like higher prices and longer waits for oil.

So, India needs to think about other ways to get oil to stay safe.
