Fuel Frenzy: No Need for Panic Buying Despite Tensions

Amid escalating tensions between India and Pakistan, major oil companies such as Indian Oil Corporation, Bharat Petroleum, and Hindustan Petroleum have reassured the public of ample fuel supplies, urging citizens to avoid panic buying.

In light of concerns sparked by social media and heightened border tensions, the companies emphasized that fuel, CNG, and LPG stocks are undeniably sufficient across their nationwide networks. The reassurance comes as residents in border states queued at petrol pumps fearing shortages.

The firms collectively appealed to citizens to maintain calm, highlighting that reduced panic will ensure robust supply chain operations and continuous access to fuel, thus avoiding unnecessary service disruptions.
