tamil.indianexpress.com (Tamil) —

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio is visiting Reliance Industries' twin refineries at Jamnagar, Gujarat, on October 21, as part of his India trip, with energy cooperation and business investments expected to be key discussion topics. The visit follows Rubio's meetings in Mumbai with External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar and Indian business leaders. Experts suggest talks may cover RIL's planned investment in a new Texas refinery, fuel supply security ahead of US midterm elections, Russian crude imports, Venezuelan oil purchases, and increased American energy sales to India. The Jamnagar complex, with 68.2 million tonnes annual refining capacity, is India's largest exporter of refined petroleum products. The visit comes amid ongoing India-US trade negotiations and recent tensions over Russian oil imports, with Washington seeking to reduce India's reliance on Russian crude.
