Nayara Energy Seeks New Bank After EU Sanctions
Nayara Energy, an Indian oil refiner backed by Russia, is looking for a new bank in India.
This is because of EU sanctions.
The company needs the bank to pay for the oil it buys and to get paid for the fuel it sells.
Big banks are now cautious about working with Nayara.
Also, there's a risk of U.S. tariffs, which could make things even harder for Nayara.

Nayara held talks with Indian finance ministry officials last week.
