Amid rising concerns over LPG availability due to global geopolitical tensions, Indian Oil Corporation (IOC) has reassured consumers that there is no shortage of cooking gas in the country. The state-run oil major said it is delivering around 28 lakh LPG cylinders daily, maintaining normal supply levels across India.<\/p>
In an official statement, IOC said: \u201cIndia\u2019s LPG supply remains stable, adequate, and under close monitoring, despite ongoing geopolitical developments impacting global energy markets.\u201d The company emphasised that domestic LPG continues to receive the highest priority, ensuring uninterrupted supply to households.<\/p>
The clarification comes at a time when global energy markets have been impacted by tensions in West Asia, raising fears of supply disruptions. However, IOC stated that current delivery volumes are consistent with pre-crisis levels, indicating that domestic distribution remains unaffected.<\/p>
