The Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas in India has assured that the country's crude oil supply remains 'fully secured' for the upcoming months. This statement comes in response to media reports suggesting potential disruptions and payment issues related to Iranian crude imports. The ministry clarified that Indian refiners have secured their crude oil supplies, including those from Iran, and there are no payment hurdles affecting these imports. India sources crude oil from over 40 countries, allowing companies the flexibility to procure based on market dynamics. Amid ongoing tensions in the Middle East, the government emphasized that refiners have ensured adequate availability through diversified sourcing strategies. The ministry also refuted claims regarding the diversion of Iranian crude cargoes, stating that such assertions overlook the complexities of global oil trade. Furthermore, concerns regarding liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) supplies were addressed, with the ministry citing the successful discharge of a vessel carrying Iranian LPG at Mangalore. Overall, the ministry reaffirmed that India's energy security remains intact despite geopolitical uncertainties.
