: Indian Oil’s Message Amid Tensions with Pakistan
By Amit Kumar | Live Hindustan | New Delhi | Friday, May 9, 2025, 11:38 AM
As tensions escalate between India and Pakistan, Indian Oil Corporation Limited (IOCL) has issued a nationwide assurance urging citizens not to panic over fuel availability. The company emphasized that both fuel and LPG supplies remain stable across the country and there is no need for unnecessary stockpiling.
In an official post shared on Indian Oil’s verified social media handle at 5:12 AM on Friday, May 9, IOCL stated that their fuel stock levels are sufficient and that supply lines remain fully operational.
“#IndianOil has adequate fuel stocks across the country and our supply lines are functioning smoothly. There is no need to panic – fuel and LPG are easily available at all our outlets. Please stay calm and avoid unnecessary crowding. This will help maintain smooth supply lines and ensure uninterrupted access to fuel for everyone,” the post read.
The company also urged people to avoid rumors and to rely solely on authorized sources for updates, especially during sensitive times.
This public assurance from Indian Oil comes at a time when geopolitical tensions are at a high. The Indian government has launched ‘Operation Sindoor’, a retaliatory strike targeting terrorist camps in Pakistan following the deadly terrorist attack in Pahalgam. The Indian Air Force reportedly conducted precision missile strikes earlier this week.
In response, Pakistan attempted a drone attack on Indian soil, but the Indian air defense system successfully intercepted and destroyed the drones mid-air. These rapid developments have intensified fears of a full-scale military conflict between two nuclear-armed nations, raising concerns about national fuel security and supply chain disruptions.
Recognizing the anxiety among citizens, Indian Oil’s timely message aims to build public confidence, prevent panic-buying, and demonstrate the company’s preparedness to maintain steady energy supplies even in times of crisis.
Indian Oil is one of the country’s largest oil and gas companies, operating in petroleum, natural gas, petrochemicals, and alternative energy sectors. By releasing this statement, the company not only showcased its logistical preparedness but also called for public cooperation and unity, which is crucial to avoid disruptions in essential services.
