India Defies Global Energy Disruptions: Energy Supply Secure

India's energy supply remains fully secure, with no need for national energy emergencies, according to the government. The Petroleum and LPG supply situation is under control, with no shortage of petrol, diesel or LPG anywhere in the country.

As the world's 4th largest refiner and 5th largest exporter of petroleum products, India's domestic availability is structurally assured, according to the Petroleum Ministry. Despite global disruptions, including the situation at the Strait of Hormuz, India is receiving more crude oil from its 41-plus global suppliers than before.

The government has called out a 'deliberately mischievous' campaign of misinformation on social media, which has led to isolated instances of crowding at petrol pumps. Oil company depots have operated through the night to ensure pumps remain replenished.
