Indian Oil Corporation Limited (IOCL) on Friday, May 9, said that it has ample fuel stocks across the country and its operational lines are operating smoothly.
In a post on X, the company wrote, “IndianOil has ample fuel stocks across the country, and our supply lines are operating smoothly. There is no need for panic buying—fuel and LPG are readily available at all our outlets (sic).” It further advised the people to stay calm and avoid unnecessary rush, which will help the company in keeping their supply lines running seamlessly and ensure uninterrupted fuel access for all.
The statement comes after social media was flooded with posts and videos showing people queuing up outside petrol pumps to stock up on fuel as tensions escalated between the two nuclear-armed neighbours following ‘Operation Sindoor’ in which the terrorist infrastructure was targeted in a coordinated missile strike at nine locations in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK).
