No fuel dry-out at 1 lakh petrol pumps, crude supply comfortable: Oil Ministry

Описание: Sujata Sharma, Joint Secretary (Marketing & Oil Refinery) in the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas, said the crude oil supply situation in India remains comfortable despite the ongoing West Asia conflict.

She said India consumes around 55 lakh barrels of oil per day and, as the world’s fourth-largest refiner, has adequate capacity to ensure the availability of petroleum products such as petrol and diesel.

Sharma also said the government had issued an order under the Essential Commodities Act on March 09 directing refineries to maximise LPG production. As a result, domestic LPG production has increased to around 28 per cent.

She added that India has nearly one lakh petrol pumps across the country and no fuel “dry out” has been reported at any retail outlet.
