Very simple.
India wants to join the US Alliance in Asia and be in the big boy's club.
They can't join without doing anything, much to their lazy-ass socialist government's surprise.
Enriching Russia by buying their oil so they can murder Ukrainians is a no-go. It is especially stupid by the Modi government as without US technicians the Russian pipelines are deteriorating and soon they will be only to sell a little. Also, all the sleeper communist-agent emigrants India sends are getting annoying.
India had a chance for a boom plus super-cheap US gas and oil via renewed favored tariff status with US and their government blew it. Again.
