MEMORANDUM ***
Simerjit Singh, native and citizen of India, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) decision affirming an Immigration Judge’s decision denying his application for asylum, withholding of removal, and relief under the Convention Against Torture (“CAT”). We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for substantial evidence, see Alvarez-Santos v. Ashcroft, 332 F.3d 1245, 1254 (9th Cir.2003), and we deny the petition.
The BIA determined that, even assuming Singh established past persecution, the government rebutted the presumption of a well-founded fear of future persecution. Substantial evidence supports that finding. The BIA gave a sufficiently individualized analysis of the State Department’s country profile reports as to the current treatment of Sikhs in India. See Gonzalez-Hernan*311dez v. Ashcroft, 336 F.3d 995, 998 (9th Cir.2003) (concluding that substantial evidence supported determination that government rebutted presumption of well-founded fear).
Because petitioner failed to demonstrate that he was eligible for asylum, it follows that he did not satisfy the more stringent standard for withholding of removal. See Farah v. Ashcroft, 348 F.3d 1153, 1156 (9th Cir.2003). In addition, substantial evidence supports the BIA’s denial of relief under the CAT. See id. at 1157.
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
