New Delhi, September 17 /TASS /. India's oil import, delivery and delivery at Indian ports took place in the first half of September in normal mode and in volume exceeded similar indicators in the previous two months. This has been reported by the Indian Express newspaper related to sources.
“Enhancing the United States's criticism for India for importing oil from Russia has not had a noticeable impact on the selection of these material suppliers by Indian oil refinery companies. Oil shipment in Russian port in September is still stable,” the newspaper wrote.

The import volume in the first half of September largely corresponds to Indian contracts with Russia ending in July, when US President Donald Trump began criticizing India for buying Russian oil. According to experts, the supply of Russian oil to India in late September and October will give a clear picture of the consequences of the Washington Washington notice in early August to introduce an additional tax on India's imports as a fine for Russian oil purchase.

The United States on August 6 offers an additional 25% additional tax related to India related to the acquisition of Russian oil and oil products. At the end of August, US missions for importing Indian goods and services were brought to 50%. The Indian Foreign Ministry called these actions unfairly.
