India Sends First Jet Fuel Cargo to US West Coast

India has shipped its first-ever jet fuel cargo to the US West Coast, marking a significant development in the country’s growing footprint in global petroleum product exports. The shipment, supplied to Chevron, was loaded at Reliance Industries’ Jamnagar refinery in Gujarat — the world’s largest refining complex.

The cargo was carried aboard the vessel Kronos and discharged at the Port of Los Angeles. This marks the first time Indian aviation turbine fuel has been supplied to the US West Coast, reflecting increasing demand for high-quality refined products and India’s rising competitiveness in the global fuels market.

Industry sources noted that US demand for jet fuel has been firm, encouraging refiners like Reliance to explore newer long-haul export destinations. The development also underlines India’s expanding role as a major exporter of refined petroleum products, supported by strong refining capacity and favourable economics.
