NEW DELHI, July 29 (Reuters) - Russia-backed Indian refiner Nayara Energy, recently sanctioned by the European Union, has turned to domestic firm Rediff.com after tech giant Microsoft MSFT.O suspended services, three sources familiar with the matter said.
Nayara, which has condemned the sanctions, said on Monday it had filed a case against U.S.-based Microsoft in the Delhi High Court over its withdrawal of services.
The sources spoke on condition of anonymity as they were not authorised to speak to media.
Nayara and Rediff did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
Incorporated in 1996, Rediff India, headquartered in the commercial capital of Mumbai, aims to provide world-class online consumer service offerings, from news and email to an online shopping marketplace, the company says on its website.
