"Ambassador Blackwill is our ambassador to India. He remains our ambassador to India, and speculation to the contrary really only hurts our relationship," state department spokesman Richard Boucher said.
Boucher said Blackwill had not offered to resign, nor had he been asked to do so.
When asked if there had been a review of the embassy in New Delhi, he said, "I am not going to go into any particular investigation that may or may not be underway at this point."
A report in the Washington Post on Wednesday said two teams from the State Department Inspector General's office had been dispatched to New Delhi to review Blackwill's performance.
