Country's crude oil supplies remain secure, 2 LNG ​cargoes en route to India: Centre amid LPG crisis

⁠India is arranging ⁠crude and LNG ‌supplies ​from alternative sources with two LNG ​cargoes on ⁠the way, Sujata Sharma, Joint Secretary in Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas said in a briefing Wednesday.

India's ‌liquefied petroleum ‌gas output has ‌gone up 25% after the ⁠recent ⁠government order asking refiners to maximise cooking gas production, Sharma added.

Crude oil is being sourced from non-Strait of Hormuz routes; supplies secured more than those that were disrupted, the ministry said.

The ministry also reiterated that there was no need for panic LPG booking; normal delivery cycle for domestic household remains 2.5 days
