NEW DELHI - A top US energy diplomat on Tuesday said he was "not too impressed" with India's efforts to cut its imports of oil from Western sanctions-hit Iran.

"We are not too impressed to date," Carlos Pascual, the State Department's special envoy for international energy issues, said when asked by Reuters how likely India was to get a waiver from US financial sanctions.

US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton leaned on India last week to cut its imports of Iranian oil further, and said Washington may not make a decision on whether to exempt New Delhi from financial sanctions for another two months.

Clinton, who was on a three-day visit to India, said the United States was encouraged by the steps its ally had taken to reduce its reliance on Iranian oil, but that "even more" was needed.
