Relief to India from this decision of America
Amidst the increasing tension between Iran and Israel and the Strait of Hormuz, America has issued a temporary license of 30 days for India. Through this, Indian refineries have been allowed to buy crude oil from Russia without any tariff or penalty. This license is for ships loaded with Russian oil from March 5, 2026. India will get this oil at the old cheap rate. These will not be affected by the increased prices due to the Hormuz crisis.
