Union Minister for Petroleum and Natural Gas Hardeep Singh Puri on Tuesday said India ensured stable fuel prices and uninterrupted energy supplies despite global disruptions and rising crude oil prices, while significantly boosting domestic LPG production to meet growing demand.
Addressing the CII Annual Business Summit 2026, Puri highlighted India’s resilience in handling global energy shocks through strong policy coordination and effective supply
“At a time of global supply shocks and rising crude prices, India ensured seamless availability of petrol, diesel, and LPG across the country, with no reports of shortages. Despite sharp global volatility, fuel prices have largely remained unchanged since 2022, reflecting strong policy coordination and effective supply management,” the minister said.
Puri said India has enhanced domestic LPG production from nearly 36 thousand metric tonnes per day to around 54 thousand metric tonnes per day, helping the country maintain supply stability and price control amid rising consumption.
