A trio of India's oil giants, namely Indian Oil Corporation, Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited (BPCL), and Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited (HPCL), have reassured consumers of abundant fuel supplies across the nation. Amid escalating tensions with Pakistan, these companies emphasized that there is no need for panic buying.
Social media platforms lit up with concerns and images depicting long queues at fuel stations, particularly in states neighboring Pakistan. In response, these state-owned firms reiterated their commitment to a robust supply chain that guarantees the availability of petrol, diesel, and LPG even amidst geopolitical strife.
Recent military escalations, including retaliatory strikes and drone attacks, have augmented public anxiety. However, Indian oil companies remain committed to seamless operations, urging consumers to remain calm to ensure uninterrupted energy access. Nayara Energy, operating a vast refinery in Gujarat, echoes this sentiment, emphasizing continued full-capacity operations.
