Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on Friday said India will continue purchasing oil from Russia, making it clear that the country will decide its energy policy according to its own requirements, APA reports.
“India will continue to buy Russian oil. It is our decision to buy what suits our needs, where we buy our oil from, we will have to take a call on it,” FM Sitharaman told News18.
Sitharaman also spoke on the government’s approach to economic management. She stressed the importance of fiscal discipline and trust-building with citizens.
“There are no shortcuts to earning profits. We need to earn the people’s trust to make them,” she said, adding that long-term growth depends on credibility and responsible policies rather than quick gains.
