Government says fuel supply remains stable
The price revision comes amid discussions around energy availability in the country. Union Minister for Petroleum and Natural Gas Hardeep Singh Puri earlier assured that there is no shortage of energy supplies in India.
"Our priority is to ensure the availability of affordable and sustainable fuel for our citizens, and we are doing it comfortably. There is no shortage of energy in India, and there is no cause of worry for our energy consumers," the minister said in a post on X.

Indian Oil Corporation also addressed rumours circulating on social media about a possible shortage of petrol and diesel.
"India has sufficient fuel stocks, and supply and distribution networks are functioning normally. IndianOil is committed to maintaining uninterrupted fuel supply across the country. Citizens are requested not to panic or crowd fuel stations and to rely only on official sources for accurate information," the company said in a statement on X.
Officials have also indicated that India remains in a "very comfortable position" in terms of crude oil, petroleum products and LPG supplies, despite concerns over potential disruptions through the Strait of Hormuz.
