India Rejects Sanctioned Russian LNG, Stranding Tanker as Energy Crunch Deepens
India has rejected a Russian offer to sell liquefied natural gas from projects under U.S. sanctions, leaving the tanker Kunpeng without a clear destination after its planned delivery to Dahej was withdrawn, sources told Reuters. The move comes as India seeks to avoid breaching restrictions while maintaining fuel supplies amid Middle East disruptions and a weakened rupee.
