State Level Coordinator (SLC) Gujarat has said that With the Motto of Serving the Nation and the Public at Large, Round the Clock,  Public Sector Oil Marketing Companies (OMCs) — IndianOil, BPCL and HPCL — continue operations and logistics coordination across the country to ensure uninterrupted availability of Petrol (MS), Diesel (HSD) and LPG amid a sharp increase in fuel demand in several regions.

In recent period, OMCs have witnessed significantly higher offtake of petroleum products, driven by seasonal agricultural activity and harvesting operations across multiple states. Additional demand pressure has also emerged due to migration of retail customers to Public Sector Retail Outlets due to lower price compared to other suppliers as well as a visible shift of institutional and commercial consumers to retail fuel outlets.

Public Sector OMCs continue to maintain uninterrupted supplies and timely replenishment across markets through their extensive nationwide network of terminals, depots, pipelines, LPG bottling plants and retail outlets. Supply teams, transport networks, terminal operations and select Retail Outlets are functioning 24x7 to ensure seamless product movement, true to the spirit of “We are always There”.

The Oil Industry would like to reassure consumers that adequate stocks of Petrol, Diesel and LPG are available across the country and all necessary measures are being taken to maintain smooth and uninterrupted supplies in keeping close coordination with state administration.

Public Sector OMCs are continuously reviewing stock positions and closely coordinating on logistics and distribution planning to efficiently meet the enhanced demand scenario.

Citizens are advised to continue with normal purchasing behaviour and avoid unnecessary panic buying. Consumers are also requested to rely only on official communications issued by authorised agencies and Oil Marketing Companies for accurate information related to fuel availability.
