NEW DELHI: External affairs minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar on Wednesday said that India will opt for best deals to buy oil that is in the interest of its people.
Responding to questions from members in the Upper House, the minister said: “The government does not ask Indian companies to buy oil from Russia but it is a sensible policy to get the best deal in the interest of Indian people.”
He further added that India does not stick to just one country for its oil purchase, but it will always opt for the deal amongst all available options.
