‘No reported dry out’: Centre says LPG, fuel supply stable amid demand surge

Fuel and LPG supplies remain normal across the country, with oil marketing companies supplying around 5.5 million cylinders on Saturday and petrol and diesel retail outlets operating without disruption, the government said on Sunday.

In its daily update on energy supply and fuel availability, the ministry of petroleum and natural gas said panic buying was reported in some areas due to rumours. “Certain rumours led to unusually high sales and heavy crowding at retail outlets in a few states,” the ministry said.
