India has strongly criticised the additional tariffs imposed by the United States over its purchases of Russian oil, describing the move as “extremely unfortunate,” “unfair,” “unjustified,” and “unreasonable.”

In a statement issued on Wednesday, India asserted that its oil imports are determined by market dynamics and are essential for ensuring the energy security of its 1.4 billion citizens.

“It is therefore extremely unfortunate that the US should choose to impose additional tariffs on India for actions that several other countries are also taking in their own national interest,” the statement added.
