A routine visit to an Indian Oil fuel station in Greater Noida, Uttar Pradesh, India, turned problematic when contaminated petrol caused damage to at least six vehicles. The contamination was traced to groundwater seepage into the underground storage system, affecting nearly 12,000 litres of fuel. The incident occurred at the Pi-2 filling station, where multiple customers reported vehicle malfunctions shortly after refuelling. Videos of stranded cars circulated on social media, heightening public anxiety about fuel availability, especially in light of the ongoing West Asia conflict. District supply officer Smriti Gautam confirmed that six complaints had been lodged regarding vehicle damage linked to the pump. In response, officials and representatives from Indian Oil conducted an inspection, halted fuel sales, and initiated an inquiry. The investigation revealed that the underground storage tank and dispensing unit were contaminated. Repair work began, but fuel sales remained suspended until safety and quality checks were completed. Gautam assured affected customers would receive compensation for their damages, while authorities urged residents not to panic, stating that there was no disruption in fuel supply across the city.
