Opinion POD: Buying Russian oil, misreading Trump—3 points will define India’s next energy strategy
India’s crude oil trade has evolved from a purely economic exchange into both a geopolitical test of strategic autonomy and a measure of the constraints in its energy policy.

That balance is now under pressure from Donald Trump’s 50 per cent tariff offensive, aimed selectively at India and leaving little ambiguity about his objectives—and in Trump’s world, what he wants, he usually gets. So what will define India's next energy strategy? ThePrint Consulting Editor (International & Strategic Affairs) explains, in this week's column.
