By Nidhi Verma NEW DELHI (Reuters) -Indian refiners have stopped dealing with U.S.-sanctioned oil tankers and entities but the country does not expect disruption to Russian crude supplies during a two-month wind-down period,

Indian and Chinese refiners are in a quest to find new suppliers of crude as they adapt to fresh US sanctions on Russian producers and tankers that are designed to curb the revenues of the world's second-largest oil exporter.

Bloomberg reported that India will not allow tankers carrying Russian oil subject to American sanctions to enter its ports. This is a significant blow to Vladimir Putin's policy. The Indian market became one of the key markets for Russia after the EU decided to abandon Russian raw materials following the invasion of Ukraine.
