US President Donald Trump's waiver of sanctions, restrictions, and tariffs under the Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act (SRIA) is providing relief for India's exporters and energy security, according to experts. This decision is seen as a much-needed boost for Indian industry, as it allows for continued access to competitively priced Russian crude oil, which will help moderate input costs, ease inflationary pressures, and support economic growth.
