US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said on Tuesday India had made “substantial progress” in diversifying its oil supplies, suggesting a trade deal with New Delhi was “very close”.

Rubio arrived in Mumbai for a three-day visit, his second official trip to India this year, as the two countries seek to overcome trade tensions and deepen energy ties.
