New Delhi: The country’s government petroleum companies earn a lot every year from Russia. Government petroleum companies have made bumper investments in Russia’s oil assets. But the war in Eastern Europe between Russia and Ukraine, which has been going on for more than a year, has affected the whole world. Its big impact is being seen in the market of oil and petroleum. Countries like India and China have benefited from the crude oil they are getting from Russia at a discount. On the other hand, due to the stringent economic sanctions imposed by the US and allied countries on Russia, many parties are suffering losses, including some Indian companies. Indian petroleum companies have got $300 million (about Rs 2,500 crore) of dividend income stuck in Russia due to sanctions imposed after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. This amount is the dividend income in return for the investment that Indian companies have made in Russia’s oil sector. However, this amount is now not reaching the Indian companies.
