Latest News about Hardeep Singh Puri
Hardeep Singh Puri, serving as the Union Minister of Petroleum and Natural Gas, assured the public that India's fuel and energy supplies remain secure despite rising tensions involving Iran and the Strait of Hormuz. He emphasized that the government has diversified crude sourcing routes and maintained stable supplies of petrol, diesel, LPG, and LNG, with no shortage of any fuel type across the country.
Union Minister Hardeep Singh Puri dismissed concerns over fuel supply shortages amid the West Asia conflict, stating that India has 69 days of crude oil and LNG stock and 45 days of LPG stock. He announced that the government ramped up LPG production from 35,000-36,000 tonnes per day to nearly 54,000 tonnes as a contingency measure to ensure energy security.
The Union Minister for Petroleum and Natural Gas issued a statement confirming that India's crude supply position is secure and that volumes secured exceed what the Hormuz route would have delivered. He highlighted the issuance of the Natural Gas Control Order on 9 March 2026, which prioritizes domestic piped gas and CNG for vehicles at 100% supply while managing reductions for industrial and refinery consumers to protect the agricultural input chain.
