New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday chaired a high-level meeting to review the situation in the petroleum, crude oil, gas, power, and fertiliser sectors, with a focus on ensuring uninterrupted supply and stable distribution amid the evolving crisis in West Asia.
The meeting focused on maintaining uninterrupted supply, ensuring stable logistics, and streamlining distribution systems across the country to prevent any disruption in essential services.
Officials briefed the Prime Minister on the current status of fuel availability and steps being taken to safeguard India’s energy security.
A day earlier, PM spoke with Iran’s President Masoud Pezeshkian to discuss the regional situation and emphasised the need for peace and stability.
He also underlined the importance of keeping international shipping lanes open and secure, warning that any disruption could impact global supply chains. To reduce dependence on the Middle East, India has diversified its oil and gas imports, increasing purchases from countries such as the United States, Russia, and African nations like Nigeria.
