New Delhi: Union Minister for Petroleum and Natural Gas Hardeep Singh Puri on Thursday told Parliament that India's sourcing of non-Hormuz crude ⁠has increased to ⁠70 per cent of ‌its total ​imports and the country's current crude supply position is ​secure.

Puri said that India's ‌petrol and diesel availability is ‌also fully secure and ⁠liquid natural gas (LPG) cargoes are ‌arriving ‌almost daily from alternative ‌routes.

The oil minister also added that the panic on cooking gas supplies ⁠were ⁠triggered by consumer anxiety rather than a supply shortage.
