India to Keep Diesel Exports Despite Possible US Ban

India's refusal to align with a potential US export ban underscores a widening gap between Western sanctions policy and the commercial priorities of major refined-fuel suppliers. As the world's second-largest diesel exporter, India's stance matters less for its own volumes than for what it signals about the durability of coordinated energy restrictions. The open question is whether other large exporters adopt a similar posture, which would erode the practical reach of any US measure and reshape trade flows for buyers dependent on seaborne diesel.
