NEW DELHI - India may have refused to budge from its neutral stand and has bought discounted oil from Russia since the war began in Ukraine.

But a small handful of Indian companies with substantial exposure to Western markets have stopped doing business with Russia.

"We have a small team of less than 100 employees based in Russia, which service a few of our global clients," said Mr Salil Parekh, Infosys' chief executive officer & managing director during a conference call on April 13. India has taken a neutral position on the Ukraine war, refusing to explicitly condemn Russia, an important defence partner.

Prof Biswajit Dhar, a trade expert from Jawaharlal Nehru University, said that companies with large exposure to the US in particular would try and withdraw from Russia.
