The government has confirmed that petrol and diesel stocks are sufficient and announced plans to increase LPG production to address rising supply worries.
The Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas released a statement today assuring the public that current petrol and diesel inventories are adequate to meet demand. The announcement came after a series of media reports highlighting potential shortages in the coming months.
In addition to maintaining existing fuel stocks, the government has outlined a strategy to ramp up LPG production. The plan involves allocating additional resources to key refineries and encouraging private sector participation in LPG manufacturing.
Officials cited rising domestic consumption and global price volatility as key drivers behind the move. By boosting LPG output, the government aims to stabilize household energy costs and reduce reliance on imported fuels.
Consumers are expected to see the benefits within the next quarter, with authorities monitoring market dynamics closely to prevent any price spikes or supply disruptions.
