business-standard.com —

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio arrived in Jamnagar, Gujarat, on Wednesday to visit the Reliance Industries oil refinery complex, a day after calling India a crude oil refining "superpower." Rubio is on a three-day visit to India to advance bilateral ties in energy, trade, investment, defence, and critical technologies, and to discuss the West Asia crisis. His tour of the Jamnagar refinery follows his remarks on India's refining capabilities and his call for processing more Venezuelan crude in the country. The Reliance refinery is the world's largest single-site facility, with a 1.4 million barrels per day capacity and the highest complexity index globally. Rubio arrived in Mumbai on Tuesday for talks with External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar, where he also urged India to boost energy trade with the US.
