The Public Record
The United States hasn’t built a single new refinery in the last 50 years, and Europe’s refinery capacity has steadily declined, while India today has the world’s fourth-largest refinery capacity.
Today, we are inaugurating the Rajasthan Refinery here. We signed an MoU for this in 2017. However, the Congress government ruled Rajasthan from 2018 to 2023. Due to Congress’s non-cooperation, work here virtually stalled.
May the next 250 years bring even greater prosperity, peace and progress for America and take the India-US partnership to new heights.
On behalf of 1.4 billion Indians, I extend my warmest congratulations to President Trump and the people of the United States on the historic 250th anniversary of your Independence.
I shall discuss with PM Christopher Luxon how to further enhance economic, trade and commercial engagements.
