And with Russian crude exports to India increasing to never before seen levels thanks to Moscow offering major discounts to Indian crude buyers, the growth in dividends due is only accelerating. Latest figures from New Delhi now point to Russian oil making up over 30% of total Indian crude imports. Other Indian firms including Bharat Petroleum Corporation Ltd (BPCL), Indian Oil, and Oil India Ltd (OIL) are also known to have significant interests in bilateral and multinational oil and gas projects across Russia. None have yet come out with individual claims on overdue dividend payments. Furthermore, any increase in investments on existing stakes in Russian energy infrastructure by overseas agencies will be similarly affected by the ongoing EU-US led sanctions with later payments of dividends blocked.
