Is India wary about importing oil from Iran?
February 03, 2012
Despite India's assertion that it will not scale down its petroleum imports from Iran, American lawmakers were told by a Congressional report that India is "cautious" on any expansion of energy relations with Iran.
"Since late 2010, India suggested that it was cautious about any expansion of energy relations with Iran," the independent Congressional Research Service said in its latest report on Iran.
Earlier this week, Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee had said in Chicago that New Delhi will not curtail its petroleum imports from Tehran despite US and European sanctions against the Islamic republic.
