There is another possibility- I believe India is trying to explore it. Import it in the local currency itself such as INR or BDTk. Russia needless to say will have a surplus- but they can then invest it as local currency GoI/GoBD bonds or even invest in debt/equity portfolio or FDI.

India had better continue to use CNY for payment.
Because the Russian govt is frantically collecting as many CNY as possible, they need a lot of CNY to expand and balance trade with China.
They are exchanging gold for CNY at a discount of 30% and also offer an interest rate of up to 8% for CNY account, which is 533% of the interest rate of CNY account of Bank of China (1.5%).
As for the Indian rupee, it depreciated too quickly.
In 1994, one dollar was converted to 8.6CNY.
In 2022, 1 US dollar was converted to 6.7CNY.
In 1994, one dollar was converted to 11.2 rupees.
In 2022, one dollar was exchanged for 79.5 rupees.
