Following the outbreak of hostilities in the Middle East and the evolving global energy situation, India's Minister of Petroleum & Natural Gas, Hardeep Singh Puri, informed that "the country is well stocked with crude oil and inventories of key petroleum products including petrol, diesel and ATF to deal with short-term disruptions arising from the Middle East."
