India has 60 days of fuel stocks, government says dismissing shortage reports as misinformation

On Thursday, The Ministry confirmed India has about 60 days of fuel stock cover, dismissing reports of shortages as a "deliberate misinformation campaign" aimed at triggering panic buying.
Actual stock cover is around 60 days, The Ministry stated, including crude stocks, products, and strategic storage even as the world marks the 27th day of the Middle East crisis.
Indian refineries are running at over 100% utilisation, while the country continues to supply refined Petroleum to over 150 countries, ensuring domestic availability remains structurally assured.
Despite tensions around the Strait of Hormuz, The Ministry noted that higher volumes from alternative sources offset any potential disruption, keeping crude supplies stable.
Nearly two months of steady supply is available for every Indian citizen, The Ministry said, confirming that LPG supplies are sufficient and domestic production has increased.
