India is focusing on ensuring stability and security in its crude oil supply by diversifying its sources, according to Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri.

His remarks, made during a media briefing, came shortly after the US President Donald Trump's decision to lift a 25% tariff on Indian goods when India agreed to halt purchases of Russian oil.

Misri emphasized that the nation's primary concern when choosing suppliers remains national interest and strategic benefits.
