The United States on Tuesday removed four Indian companies from its list of firms sanctioned for allegedly supplying goods and technology to Russia’s military-industrial base.

Hyderabad-based RRG Engineering Technologies Private Limited and Lokesh Machines Limited, Ahmedabad-based Galaxy Bearings Limited and New Delhi-based Shaurya Aeronautics Private Limited had been sanctioned in November 2024.

The action was taken under an order targeting individuals and entities whom the US accused of providing financial, material or technological support to the Russian government.

This was part of the broader US sanctions imposed after Moscow began its war on Ukraine in 2022.

At the time, the US had claimed that Galaxy Bearings had exported dual-use equipment, including roller bearings and roller assemblies, to Russian entities, PTI reported.

Shaurya Aeronautics was said to have shipped radar and radio navigation equipment to Russia, while RRG Engineering Technologies allegedly sent more than 100 shipments of microelectronics to a sanctioned Russian company, the news agency reported.

Lokesh Machines was said to have supplied machine tools to Russian manufacturing companies.

Following the sanctions in 2024, the Ministry of External Affairs said that India was a “responsible member of the international community” and participated in key multilateral export control regimes, Hindustan Times reported.

It added that the government regularly conducted outreach programmes to ensure Indian companies complied with export control laws and domestic regulations.

In addition to removing the four companies as part of its latest update on Tuesday, the US Department of the Treasury also included new sanctions targeting individuals and entities allegedly linked to fuel smuggling networks associated with a Mexican drug cartel.
