 "India to decide on resuming Iranian oil buy after Lok Sabha polls: Report")
India told Iran on Tuesday it will decide on its oil imports after elections end this month, in line with its economic interests, a government source said.
Iran's Foreign Minister Javad Zarif held talks on the issue with Sushma Swaraj during a visit to New Delhi. India has suspended imports of Iranian oil from May because of renewed US sanctions on Iran.
