PSU OMCs Operating on Sunday to meet Demand Surge and Ensure Uninterrupted Fuel Supplies

Posted On: 24 MAY 2026 7:40PM by PIB Bhopal

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 of their depot and terminals today, even though Sunday is a weekly closed day. This is being done to ensure uninterrupted availability of Petrol (MS), Diesel (HSD) and LPG amid a sharp increase in fuel demand in several regions.

To maintain seamless fuel availability across Madhya Pradesh, Indian Oil Corporation operated locations at Itarsi and Ratlam, while Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited operated locations at Sagar and Jabalpur.

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

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”.
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
