In a message posted on social media, he assured consumers that the government is ensuring the availability of fuel and that there is no reason for concern.

State-run oil company Indian Oil Corporation also dismissed rumours circulating online about shortages of petrol and diesel. The company said the country has adequate fuel stocks and that supply and distribution systems are functioning normally. It urged people not to panic or rush to fuel stations.

According to the government, India currently remains in a comfortable position regarding crude oil, petroleum products and LPG availability. Officials said the country has diversified its sources of crude oil imports in recent years and has sufficient reserves to meet domestic demand.

Authorities are also monitoring global developments related to energy supply routes such as the Strait of Hormuz, while planning to increase imports from alternative sources if required. Officials added that LPG production at domestic refineries has been stepped up to ensure adequate supply across the country.
