Amid swirling rumors of fuel crunch, Minister Hardeep Singh Puri delivered a clear message from Parliament: India’s energy cupboard is full, with crude reserves exceeding Hormuz norms.
Crediting PM Modi’s deft diplomacy, Puri explained how India amassed surplus oil, fortifying against West Asia’s volatility. Diversification is key—imports now span 40 nations, multiple routes resilient to conflicts.
Domestic reliability shines through: Steady CNG and PNG for homes, backed by government’s all-in commitment to affordable, uninterrupted access.
Puri’s appeal was direct: Shun rumors, embrace facts. No scarcity looms for everyday users.
Complementing this, MEA’s efforts include evacuations from Iran and Hormuz monitoring. Jaishankar’s three-way dialogue with Iran zeroed in on navigation safety and energy continuity.
India’s blend of reserves, diversification, and diplomacy crafts a bulletproof energy framework, averting crisis and sustaining growth.
