EU sanctions hit 3 Indian firms as part of the 19th sanctions package against Russia

The EU sanctioned three Indian firms under its 19th Russia sanctions package on October 23 for allegedly aiding Moscow’s military‑industrial complex. Accused of bypassing export restrictions on CNC tools and UAV technologies, they now face stricter export controls. Analysts warn the move, a first of its kind, could strain India‑EU trade talks amid new US tariffs.
