Will India become bought?
During the war, when India needed oil, the country had made arrangements for itself considering the situation. In such a situation, he does not want to rush into purchasing oil from Iran. However, it is easy for India to access Iranian oil and some tankers can reach Indian ports in just two-three days. Even though this deal may prove to be beneficial, Indian refineries do not want to take any hasty decision at the moment. Because they have already made arrangements for oil from other countries till August, there is no immediate need for Iranian oil.
This is also a reason
However, this is not the only reason but frequent changes in American policy is also a reason for not buying oil. Many countries including India fear that restrictions may be imposed again in the future, which is why everyone is alert. Challenges related to insurance, finance and shipping also remain.

The deal can be done like this

So India can buy oil from Iran in the second phase i.e. after August or in this month itself. Especially when Iran gives an attractive discount or makes a good deal. Reports also say that the deal between India and Iran will not be limited to only crude oil, but there is a possibility of increase in trade between the two countries in LPG, petrochemicals, fertilizers and energy sectors also.
