Petrol Diesel Shortage Rumours Dismissed By Oil Companies
- Indian Oil Corporation denies petrol diesel shortage rumours amid Iran Israel war concerns
- Bharat Petroleum and dealers say fuel supply and distribution networks running normally
Reports claiming a shortage of petrol and diesel in India are false, according to major oil companies. The campaign linking fuel shortages to the Iran Israel war in Gulf countries has been dismissed as rumours by officials. Indian Oil Corporation Limited issued a clarification stating that the country has sufficient fuel reserves and supply systems.
Indian Oil Corporation said that fuel supply and distribution networks across the country are operating normally. Therefore, the company advised people not to panic about petrol and diesel availability. It also urged citizens to trust only official information instead of unverified reports spreading online.
Meanwhile, Bharat Petroleum also released a similar statement to reassure motorists. The company rejected the claims that petrol and diesel are running out in some areas. Bharat Petroleum said there is no reason for concern because India has enough fuel stocks. It also confirmed that supply chains continue to operate without disruption. As a result, customers will be able to receive fuel at petrol pumps without any problem.
The Petrol Dealers Association also addressed the issue earlier. The association advised the public not to believe false propaganda about a possible shortage of crude oil. According to the association, the central government has already stated that India holds sufficient oil reserves. It also said that despite the rise in international prices, retail fuel prices will not increase for now. Moreover, the association clarified that petrol and diesel supply in the state continues without disruption.
However, authorities have noticed another problem due to the rumours. Police said that heavy congestion is forming near petrol pumps in Hyderabad. Motorists have been rushing to refill their vehicles after seeing unverified messages on social media. As a result, traffic issues are emerging on major roads in the city.
Police therefore urged people not to believe false news circulating on social media platforms. They also advised motorists to remain calm and avoid unnecessary rush at fuel stations. Officials stressed that the fuel supply remains stable and that panic buying is unnecessary.
