Considering that US is now funding the Pakistani war machine, India knows which side to pick.
India should ignore US support of a nation that sends terrorists to target their civilans... but should proactively care about a war happening thousands of miles from them?
That too, to the extent that the entire country shifts to a much more expensive source of fuel, burning bridges with their longtime ally... I don't really see why they should do that.
Edit: Rephrased my point to be argumentative instead of accusatory
Constantly disputed since the partition of India.

Straw man. India should care about both. Get the US to pressure Pakistan and ensure the US knows the expense of not buying Russian oil and that is covered by tariffs.
I still think India is better off choosing to make iPhones than buying Russian oil.
Let the US firs un-sanction Venezuala and Iran first - major oil producing nations first. India is not going to starve its people to feed Trump's ego.
US wants airbase capability in Pakistan to bomb Iran - at-least that is what American military analysts are saying. Another compelling reason is exploitable rare earths and oil in Balochistan.
Do note that China is not sanctimoniously ordering India to stop buying oil from Russia, Iran and Venezuela.
