The ongoing crisis in Iran has resulted in depleted oil and gas resources globally. The situation has reached detrimental points in countries like Australia, Philippines, Thailand, and others as they’ve started to impose energy lockdowns as demand for petrol far supersedes supply.
On that note, there have been several speculations about the possibility of the imposition of a lockdown in India in order to reduce petrol consumption and resource maintenance.
However, union Minister for petroleum and energy resources, Hardeep Puri has confirmed that there is no such plan to implement a lockdown in India.
“India has consistently demonstrated resilience in the face of global uncertainties, and we will continue to act in a timely, proactive, and coordinated manner.
Rumours of a lockdown in India are completely false. Let me state this clearly, there is no such proposal under consideration by the Government of India. In such times, it is important that we remain calm, responsible, and united.
Attempts to spread rumours and create panic in such a situation are irresponsible and harmful.” He stated.
This confirms that India does not have any plans to impose a lockdown, and there is indeed adequate supply of oil and gas resources across the country.
