Petrol and Diesel Prices Remain Unchanged

While LPG prices have increased, petrol and diesel prices have remained unchanged across major cities in India, even as crude oil rates have risen sharply in global markets due to escalating tensions in West Asia.

The latest fuel prices in major cities are:

Government Says Energy Supply Remains Stable

The price increase comes amid broader discussions about India’s energy supply situation as tensions in West Asia raise concerns about potential disruptions in global oil routes.

Union minister for petroleum and natural gas Hardeep Singh Puri earlier sought to reassure consumers about the country’s energy security.

“Our priority is to ensure the availability of affordable and sustainable fuel for our citizens, and we are doing it comfortably. There is no shortage of energy in India, and there is no cause of worry for our energy consumers,” Puri said in a post on X.

Indian Oil Corporation also dismissed rumours circulating on social media about a shortage of petrol and diesel, calling them baseless.

“India has sufficient fuel stocks, and supply and distribution networks are functioning normally. IndianOil is committed to maintaining uninterrupted fuel supply across the country,” the company said in a statement on X.

India Diversifying Energy Sources to Strengthen Supply

Government sources said India remains in a “very comfortable position” regarding crude oil, petroleum products and LPG supplies despite concerns linked to the Strait of Hormuz.

According to the sources, India has diversified its crude import basket in recent years and now sources energy from multiple geographies to reduce dependence on any single route.

Russia, which accounted for only 0.2 per cent of India’s crude imports in 2022, has become a major supplier.

In February, India imported around 20 per cent of its crude requirements from Russia, or roughly 1.04 million barrels per day, sources told ANI.

Officials also said LPG refineries have been directed to increase production to maintain adequate supplies.

Additionally, imports from the United States have begun arriving since January under a one-year contract signed by Indian public sector oil companies for around 2.2 million tonnes of LPG from the US Gulf Coast for 2026.

Energy Prices and Global Geopolitics Shape India’s Fuel Landscape

The latest LPG price revision reflects the impact of global geopolitical developments on energy markets. Rising international energy costs linked to the West Asia conflict have contributed to the latest increase in domestic and commercial LPG prices. At the same time, the government has emphasised that India’s fuel supply remains stable, supported by diversified crude imports, increased refinery production and long-term supply contracts. Officials have also reiterated that adequate fuel stocks are available and supply networks are functioning normally across the country.

Spiritual Perspective on Peaceful Mindset

Global tensions and rising energy concerns often create anxiety among people and societies. In such times, spiritual teachings highlight the importance of maintaining a balanced and peaceful mindset.

According to the spiritual Knowledge given by Tatvdarshi Saint Rampal Ji Maharaj, true spiritual understanding helps individuals develop positive thinking, patience and harmony in society. His teachings emphasise that when people follow spiritual wisdom and righteous living, social tensions reduce and collective well-being improves. Such perspectives underline the role of spiritual awareness in promoting peace, stability and responsible conduct during uncertain global situations.
