- Efforts by the AASU and other nationalist organizations in Assam to gain political power through anti-immigrant sentiment have faltered in the shadow of Hindutva, which dominates the state's anti-immigrant politics.

reuters.com/markets/commodities/mexicos-presidential-front-runner-aims-cut-oil-refinery-waste-advisor-says-2024-04-04/
Quick Glance: Ambitious Plans to Reduce Fuel Waste in Mexico's Oil Refineries
- Claudia Sheinbaum, Mexico's promising presidential candidate, intends to invest in Pemex's state-owned oil refineries to decrease the production of low-value fuels and instead enhance the production of motor fuels.
- The six local refineries collectively have a capacity of processing 1.6 million barrels per day. Nonetheless, they processed an average of 945,000 barrels per day in the first two months of this year.
- Rehabilitating the obsolete domestic refineries was part of Pemex's investments under President Andrés Manuel López Obrador. The Dos Bocas refinery, with a capacity of 340,000 barrels per day, is operational but does not yet yield finished fuels.
- Aligned with a shift from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources, Sheinbaum's plan envisions production to reach around 1.8 million barrels per day of crude oil and condensate, despite limited large reserves.
