India rejects criticism over its procurement of Russian crude oil; calls out US, EU
The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) issued a rare statement rebutting the criticism against New Delhi's energy ties with Moscow, hours after US President Donald Trump threatened more tariffs on India. Firmly rejecting the criticism, India pointed out the continuing trade relations the US and the European Union have with Russia. New Delhi, Aug 4 (PTI) India on Monday mounted a sharp counterattack on the US and the European Union for their 'unjustified and unreasonable' targeting of New Delhi for its procurement of Russian crude oil. India has been targeted by the United States and the EU for importing oil from Russia after the commencement of the Ukraine conflict, the MEA said. In fact, India began importing from Russia because traditional supplies were diverted to Europe after the outbreak of the conflict, it said. 'The US at that time actively encouraged such imports by India for strengthening global energy markets stability,' it added. The MEA said India's imports are meant to ensure predictable and affordable energy costs to the Indian consumer. 'They are a necessity compelled by global market situation. However, it is revealing that the very nations criticizing India are themselves indulging in trade with Russia,' it said. 'Unlike our case, such trade is not even a vital national compulsion,' it added. The MEA said the Europe-Russia trade includes not just energy, but also fertilizers, mining products, chemicals, iron and steel and machinery and transport equipment. 'Where the US is concerned, it continues to import from Russia uranium hexafluoride for its nuclear industry, palladium for its EV industry, fertilizers as well as chemicals,' it said. 'In this background, the targeting of India is unjustified and unreasonable. Like any major economy, India will take all necessary measures to safeguard its national interests and economic security,' the MEA said.

The board, basis approval of the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), have at its meeting held on August 4 approved the appointment of Rajiv Anand as 'Additional Director' in the category of Managing Director and CEO and Key Managerial Personnel of the bank for three years, IndusInd Bank said in a late evening regulatory filing. The appointment is effective from August 25, 2025, up to August 24, 2028, subject to the approval of the shareholders of the bank, it said. He would assume charge at a time when the bank is reeling under a slew of issues stemming from alleged irregularities of the top management in recognising bad loans and trading reverses. Anand retired as deputy managing director of Axis Bank on August 3 upon completion of his third term as a director on the bank's board. He joined Axis Asset Management Co. Ltd. in 2009 as its founding MD and CEO. In his next assignment, he was appointed president of retail banking at Axis Bank. Subsequently, he was inducted into the board of the Axis Bank and took over as the head of wholesale banking. Last month, the RBI extended the tenure of the committee of executives of the bank for one month as IndusInd Bank expected the regulator's clearance for its new MD and CEO by that time. The situation arose following the resignation of MD and CEO Sumant Kathpalia in the wake of accounting lapses costing Rs 1,960 crore to the lender in the 2024-25 fiscal year. The private sector lender in March reported the accounting lapses in the derivative portfolio, estimated to have an adverse impact of approximately 2.35 per cent of the bank's net worth as of December 2024. The original tenure of the Committee of Executives constituted on April 29 was till July 28, 2025.
