Petrol and diesel prices were raised by about 90 paise per litre on Tuesday, a second increase in less than a week. Rumours of a possible fuel shortage have also intensified amid rising tensions in the Middle East. However, Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited (HPCL) has dismissed reports of fuel shortages and supply disruptions across its retail network. Sharing a post on X on Wednesday, HPCL stated that reports regarding fuel shortages and supply disruptions are "misleading" and "do not reflect the actual situation".
Is India facing a fuel shortage?
Taking to X, the company wrote, "HPCL wishes to clarify that reports regarding fuel shortages and supply disruptions are misleading and do not reflect the actual situation. Fuel supply at HPCL's retail outlets is completely normal, with regular replenishment and uninterrupted operations being ensured. The temporary increase in customer numbers and queues at some locations is primarily due to the seasonal demand surge during the month of May. Additionally, many customers are preferring HPCL retail outlets because fuel is being sold at relatively higher prices at some private retail outlets."
