Panic Buying Was Mostly Witnessed in States Bordering Pakistan
NEW DELHI: India has ample stocks of petrol, diesel and cooking gas LPG, and there is no need for panic buying, oil companies assured the public on Friday.
State-owned Indian Oil Corporation (IOC), Bharat Petroleum Corporation Ltd (BPCL) and Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Ltd (HPCL), in separate statements, assured of enough stock availability and smooth operations.
They made the statements after social media was flooded with posts and videos showing people queuing at petrol pumps to stock fuel as tensions between India and Pakistan escalated.
"Indian Oil has ample fuel stocks across the country and our supply lines are operating smoothly," IOC said in a post on X.
"There is no need for panic buying, fuel and LPG are readily available at all our outlets."
Panic buying was mostly witnessed in states bordering Pakistan.
