The enhanced demand is being driven by various factors, such as seasonal tilling and harvesting activities across rural agricultural belts. Also, due to the price difference between suppliers other than PSU’s, there is a movement of customers to Public Sector Retail Outlets, and additional demand has also emerged due to the migration of institutional and commercial consumers to retail fuel outlets.
IndianOil continues to maintain uninterrupted supplies through its extensive nationwide network of terminals, depots, pipelines, LPG bottling plants, and retail outlets. Supply teams, transport networks, terminal operations, and select Retail Outlets are functioning around the clock to ensure seamless product movement and timely replenishment across markets. IndianOil is maintaining close coordination with the state administration for seamless fuel supplies.
IndianOil would like to reassure consumers that adequate stocks of petrol, diesel, and LPG are available across the country, and all necessary measures are being taken to maintain smooth and uninterrupted supplies.
Citizens are advised to continue with normal purchasing behaviour and avoid panic buying. Consumers are also requested to rely only on official communications issued by authorised agencies of IndianOil for accurate information related to fuel availability.
