Russian President Vladimir Putin last year removed an Exxon Mobil subsidiary as operator of the Sakhalin-1 oil and gas project in Russia's Far East and transferred it to a new operator.
Western governments have slapped sanctions on Russian oil over the war in Ukraine, which Russia calls a special military operation.
It is difficult to secure insurance and shipping to transport Russian oil, Gupta said, and such shipments must abide by an international price cap.
ONGC accounts for about two-thirds of India's oil production and about 58% of its gas output.
