India’s Energy Security Can Not Be Compromised Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov’s offer to India to consider a rupee-ruble mechanismto settle trade in goods between the two countries to avoid sanctions imposed by the US-ledNATO comes at a time when the Indian economy is reeling under high prices of oil puttingthe country’s energy security at risk. India needs a guaranteed supply of petroleum at stableprices to ensure its energy security and economic growth. The country’s massivedependence on imported oil is fast exposing its economic weakness under pressure of theNATO financial and trade sanctions on Russia as oil prices in the domestic market arezooming up to unsettle the entire economy. India is around 86 percent dependent onimported oil. The latter account for the single largest share of the country’s grossmerchandise import bill. India crude oil import bill may have exceeded the $100-billionmark in 2021-22. The amount is nearly double its spending in the previous year asinternational oil prices are trading at seven-year high levels. According to the government’sPetroleum Planning & Analysis Cell (PPAC), India spent $94.3 billion on oil imports in thefirst 10 months (April-January) of the last financial year.A return to the rupee-route trade after a gap of nearly four decades will be extremelybeneficial to both oil-starved India and petroleum-glut Russia, which is sitting over possiblythe world’s largest oil reserve in any country. In fact, India should link its entire oil import withRussian suppliers depending on the landed cost (c.i.f.) of the commodity. It will considerablyreduce India’s annual trade deficit in terms of US dollars. India’s trade deficit widened to arecord $192.41 billion in the last fiscal. In 2020-21, India’s trade deficit was $102 billion.Other than petroleum and gas, India is a major importer of gold and diamond, coal briquettesand fertilisers. Russia is also India’s single largest source of defence imports. Russia is theworld third largest producer of gold after Australia and China and accounts for about 10percent of global mine production which, according to the World Gold Council, totalled 3,500tonnes last year. Polyus and Polymetal are Russia’s top two gold producers. Till now,Russian miners mainly sell their gold to the country commercial banks which then export it.The US-led sanctions on the energy tie-up with Russia have been contested by a number ofgas-starved NATO members, including Germany, Europe’s largest economy. Even Japan,the world’s third largest economy after the US and China, says it will maintain oil and gasprojects in Russia citing the country’s energy security concerns as the reason. Germany andJapan are the most important US strategic partners in Europe and Asia, respectively. Only aweek ago, Japan’s Economy, Trade and Industry Minister Koichi Hagiuda made an emphaticstatement that his country "does not intend to withdraw" from oil and liquefied natural gasdevelopment projects in Russia as they make a choice between energy security andtightening sanctions on Russia for the war in Ukraine. Several Japanese trading and otherfirms have invested in the Sakhalin-1, Sakhalin-2 and Arctic LNG 2 (ARC 2) projects. Eachhas been deemed essential to Japan's energy security. "We have interest in them and havesecured long-term claimants," said Hagiuda. “In the current situation of sudden energy price increases, we can procure energy at prices cheaper than the market price. This is extremelyimportant for energy security.” He also said Japan "does not intend to withdraw" from theARC 2 project in the Arctic.The Western economic sanctions prohibit new European investment in Russia's energysector. Japanese and French companies that have invested in ARC-2 are no longer able tomake new investments. "We want to analyse the impact of sanctions and respondappropriately," the Japanese minister said. Lately, Russian President Vladimir Putin signed apresidential decree requiring companies from "unfriendly countrieslike the US, Japan andthose in western Europe to pay in rubles when purchasing Russian natural gas. Sakhalin-1has received funding from Itochu, Japan Petroleum Exploration Company, Marubeni andInpex. Sakhalin-2 counts Mitsui and Mitsubishi among its investors. ARC 2 has receivedfunds from Mitsui and Japan Oil, Gas and Metals National Corporation. Indian state-run oilcompanies also hold stakes in Russian oil and gas fields, while Russian entities includingRosneft along with another Russian firm own a majority stake in India’s second largestsingle-location oil refinery Nayara Energy.Russias oil and petroleum product - Kapilkumar M.
