Microsoft Corp. has stopped providing services to Rosneft-backed Nayara Energy, the Indian oil refiner said in a statement, adding to challenges facing the company, which was recently hit with European Union sanctions.

The Mumbai-based firm filed a lawsuit in the High Court of Delhi against Microsoft for “abrupt and unilateral suspension of critical services,” according to the statement.
