India has strengthened its energy security by maintaining oil reserves that can meet national demand for up to 74 days, even as global tensions threaten key shipping routes. The government shared this update in Parliament, highlighting ongoing steps to expand storage capacity and reduce dependence on a single supply route.
Junior Petroleum Minister Suresh Gopi informed lawmakers that India’s strategic petroleum reserves (SPRs) currently hold about 3.372 million tonnes of crude oil. This volume represents nearly two-thirds of the country’s total storage capacity. Officials stressed that reserve levels may change depending on global supply and domestic consumption.
