State-run Oil Marketing Companies (OMCs) have said that India’s crude oil supply from Russia remains stable and there has been no reduction in overall availability, assuring that the country is not facing any shortage of petrol or diesel.
According to official sources, Russian crude continues to flow to Indian refiners based on commercial viability and supply arrangements, and current import levels are sufficient to meet domestic fuel demand. The clarification comes amid speculation over potential disruptions in global oil markets and concerns about supply pressures.
OMC officials also stressed that fuel supply chains across the country remain fully operational. They said petrol, diesel, and other petroleum products are being distributed smoothly through retail networks without any disruption. There is adequate stock of both crude oil and refined fuels in the system to manage current consumption needs.
India, being heavily dependent on imported crude oil, has diversified its sourcing in recent years, with Russia emerging as one of the key suppliers. However, officials reiterated that procurement decisions are driven by economic and logistical factors, and there is no immediate impact on supplies despite global geopolitical uncertainties.
The assurance from OMCs also comes at a time when international crude oil markets have seen volatility due to geopolitical tensions and fluctuating demand-supply conditions. Despite this, Indian refiners have maintained steady operations and continue to secure crude from multiple regions.
Energy sector observers note that India’s diversified import basket, along with strategic stock management by refiners, has helped cushion the domestic market from global shocks.
Officials further added that there is no requirement for panic buying or concern among consumers, as fuel availability remains stable across the country.
With sustained imports and efficient supply management, authorities say India’s petrol and diesel supply chain is well-positioned to handle current market conditions without disruption.
