Such decisions can be influenced by geopolitics, right? You might check news channels — maybe India has enough local fuel stocks, or they’re trying to avoid affecting global prices.)*

Machang, meka hari — India always plays the long game when it comes to oil. They probably thinking about their own strategic reserves and maybe even got some back-channel deals going. IEA emergency release is mostly for Western allies, so India might not want to be tied down. _(In plain English: India likely declined to maintain its own strategic flexibility and may have separate energy agreements. The IEA's coordinated release is often aligned with Western interests, which India may not fully share.)_
