US sanctions on Russian oil giants — analysis of impact on India (LINK) 13 November 2025

— On October 22, 2025, U.S. President Donald Trump imposed sanctions on Russia’s two oil giants: Rosneft and Lukoil, and their subsidiaries. The current round of sanctions is more severe than previous measures. This is evident in the immediate five to six percent spike in global oil prices within days of their announcement. In India, the threat of secondary sanctions is likely to worry large oil corporations, leading to a reduction in Russian oil purchases. The effectiveness of the U.S. sanctions also lies in their control over global payment systems and financial infrastructure. To mitigate this vulnerability, India must develop alternatives across sectors—particularly in technology and logistics.
