Government says power supply remains comfortable<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n

The price hike comes amid broader discussions about India’s energy supply situation, particularly as tensions in West Asia raise concerns about potential disruptions to global oil routes.Union Minister for Petroleum and Natural Gas Hardeep Singh Puri had earlier tried to reassure consumers about the country’s energy security.\u201cOur priority is to ensure the availability of affordable and sustainable fuel for our citizens, and we are doing so comfortably. There is no power shortage in India and there is no cause for concern for our power consumers,\u201d Puri said in a post on X.The Indian Oil Corporation also dismissed rumors circulating on social media about shortage of petrol and diesel as baseless. The company said India has adequate fuel reserves and supply and distribution networks are functioning normally.\u201cIndia has sufficient fuel reserves and supply and distribution networks are functioning normally. IndianOil is committed to maintaining uninterrupted fuel supply across the country,\u201d the company said in a statement on X.<\/p>\n

India diversifies its energy sources<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n

Government sources said India currently remains in a \u201cvery comfortable position\u201d with respect to the supply of crude oil, petroleum products and LPG despite concerns related to the Strait of Hormuz.According to sources, the country has diversified its crude oil import basket in recent years and now sources energy from multiple geographies to reduce dependence on a single route. Russia, which accounted for just 0.2 percent of India’s crude imports in 2022, has emerged as a major supplier. In February, India imported around 20 per cent of its crude oil needs from Russia, or about 1.04 million barrels per day, sources told ANI.Officials also said LPG refiners have been ordered to increase production to maintain adequate supplies, while US imports have started arriving since January under a one-year contract signed by Indian public sector oil companies for around 2.2 million tonnes of LPG from the US Gulf Coast by 2026.<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
