Due to the ongoing tension in West Asia, shipping through the Strait of Hormuz has been affected, due to which the pressure on gas supply in India has increased. Sujata Sharma, Joint Secretary of the Petroleum Ministry, clarified things regarding the current situation of oil and gas in a press conference on Wednesday (March 18). He said, sufficient reserves of crude oil are available. Domestic LPG production from refineries has been increased by about 40%.

What did Sujata Sharma say?

Sujata Sharma said, ‘There is no shortage (dry out) at any retail outlet or LPG distributorship. 100% supply to domestic PNG and CNG transport consumers is being ensured. However, the situation of LPG is still worrying. Priority has been given to supply to domestic LPG consumers. Sales of commercial LPG cylinders, which were earlier limited to give preference to domestic LPG, have now been partially restored.

He said, ‘We have adequate reserves of aviation turbine fuel and there has been no increase in prices by oil marketing companies. There has been no increase in the prices of petrol and diesel so far.

Joint Secretary said, ‘The government has written a letter to the states, in which it has been said that additional 10 percent commercial LPG will be given if they help in long-term LPG to PNG transition. Joint Secretary, Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas said, ‘Yesterday (March 17), more than 2300 surprise inspections were conducted on LPG distributors by OMC.’
