Indian refiners would buy Iranian oil if sanctions eased: HPCL chief
NEW DELHI : Indian refiners would resume imports of Iranian oil if the United States eases sanctions against Tehran, the chairman of state-run Hindustan Petroleum Corp said on Thursday.
US President Joe Biden’s administration is seeking a diplomatic solution to the nuclear dispute with Iran, which could see sanctions eased.
India, which was Iran’s top oil client after China, had stopped oil imports from the OPEC nation in mid-2019 under pressure from the stringent sanctions imposed by former US President Donald Trump.
