The Indian government is withholding information regarding its imports of Russian oil, citing strategic and commercial confidentiality. The Petroleum Planning and Analysis Cell (PPAC) has denied a Right to Information (RTI) request seeking details on these imports.

The Central Information Commission (CIC) has supported the PPAC’s decision, referencing strategic and economic interests as justification for withholding the data. The specific details of crude oil imports from Russia between June 2022 and June 2025 will remain undisclosed.

In its ruling, the Commission also noted concerns regarding the transparency of the PPAC website.
