Microsoft cuts cloud access for Nayara Energy amid EU sanctions, prompting legal action in India

Microsoft has suspended cloud services for Nayara Energy, citing EU sanctions tied to its Russian ownership. Nayara has filed for an injunction in Delhi High Court, arguing the U.S. tech giant acted without legal basis under Indian or U.S. law. The disruption impacted critical tools like Outlook and Teams. As pressure mounts on cross-border compliance, the case raises fresh concerns about digital sovereignty and extraterritorial enforcement by global cloud providers.
