A statement by the Government regarding the availability of petrol, diesel, and LPG was issued by the government on Thursday. There has been no increase in the price of fuels at public-sector oil company pumps. Adequate quantities of petrol and diesel exist across all pumps in the country.

A spokesman for the Petroleum Division, while briefing the press in his regular briefings, said that efforts should be made by the people to conserve energy. He advised the people to refrain from hoarding any of the products like petrol, diesel, and LPG. The official also urged people to avoid rumors and rely on official sources for accurate information.

The government assured that it is making every effort to ensure its availability. Despite the geopolitical situation, the government has ensured 100% supply of domestic LPG, domestic PNG, and CNG. Nearly 1.90 lakh five-kilogram FTL cylinders were sold in the last three days. Nearly 67,600 five-kilogram FTL cylinders were sold on Wednesday. Against a booking of approximately 1.40 crore LPG cylinders in the last three days, 1.39 crore cylinders were supplied.
