Die Tycoons, die aus Indiens Durst nach russischem Öl profitieren

SS: Alex Travelli of The New York Times reports that Jamnagar, home to Reliance Industries’ vast oil refineries and a key source of Mukesh Ambani’s $115 billion fortune, has shifted from celebrity spectacle to geopolitical flashpoint. Once the site of Rihanna’s high-profile 2024 performance for elite guests, the city now finds itself at the center of U.S.-India tensions over Russian oil imports. On July 30, President Trump imposed a 25 percent tariff on India, accusing its government of aiding Russia’s war aims by allowing Indian companies to profit from the international oil trade, and hinted at future cooperation with Pakistan. A week later, he doubled down with an executive order escalating the trade penalties, putting India’s exporters in jeopardy and souring relations between the world’s two largest democracies.
