thebalanced.newsIndia Reviews Fuel Supplies Amid West Asia Conflict and Rising Global Oil Prices
India's parliamentary panel will review domestic petroleum and fertilizer supplies on 15 May amid disruptions caused by the West Asia conflict. While petrol and diesel stocks remain stable with refineries operating at high capacity, LPG supplies face shortages due to the Strait of Hormuz blockade. Rising global crude prices and increased fuel demand are pressuring India's energy system, with state-run oil companies absorbing significant losses as retail prices lag import costs.
