In short:
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has told Russian President Vladimir Putin the war in Ukraine needs to end for humanity's sake.
India, along with China, has continued buying Russian oil since the 2022 invasion of Ukraine, helping Moscow recover from sweeping Western sanctions.
Mr Modi said India supports all peace efforts and called for a cessation of hostilities.

India doesn't have oil, they buy it.

I said fuel for starters.
A simple web search was all it would have taken to prevent you from looking uninformed. Literally the first results.

India is a major consumer of oil based products, if they have some, it is no where near enough to service their population.
The times of india is not reputable.

Is Reuters also "not reputable"? This has been in the headlines half the summer. By all means, continue doubling down on your ignorance.

India has refineries, not oil.

I said fuel, not oil. You said oil.
By all means, continue displaying your cluelessness.

'ndia imports 82% of its oil needs and aims to bring that down by replacing it with local hydrocarbon exploration, renewable energy and indigenous ethanol fuel.[3] I' from wikipedia.
