U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio visited Reliance Industries’ refining complex in Jamnagar, Gujarat, as Washington seeks closer energy cooperation with India and increased processing of Venezuelan crude.
Rubio described India as a “refining superpower” capable of handling heavy crude and said India was willing to process more Venezuelan oil as production rises. He said sanctions and other restrictions would still need to be addressed by Washington and New Delhi. Rubio also noted that Indian companies with existing concessions in Venezuela could increase production from those assets.
Reliance’s Jamnagar complex, described as the world’s largest single-site refinery, can process about 1.4 million barrels of crude per day, including heavy, sulphur-rich grades. Rubio said its capacity could help India diversify its energy supplies while supporting expanded refining of energy from the Western Hemisphere.
Reliance said Rubio and members of the Ambani family discussed global energy and data centres during the visit, according to Reuters.
India has resumed purchases of Venezuelan crude following an easing of U.S. restrictions. Reuters reported that India was Venezuela’s second-largest oil buyer in May, importing about 427,000 barrels per day. Reliance had become the largest buyer of Venezuelan crude outside the United States by the end of September, CNBC reported.
