India has a long standing relationship with Moscow dating back to the cold war days. Basically the USA backed Pakistan and the USSR backed India in those days.
The Russians sells/sold a lot of military equipment to India.
India is in a tough place now, because they also need USA's help to keep China in check with increasing hostility at the India/China border.
So they are trying to keep neutral.
