> US Secretary of State Marco Rubio is visiting India this week, stopping in Mumbai and Jamnagar but not New Delhi, with a visit to Reliance Industries' refinery on the itinerary. Trade talks remain stalled amid uncertainty over US penalties tied to India's Russian oil purchases. Rubio said the countries were close to a deal and that sanctions waivers were being considered in the talks.
