India has 25 days of crude oil reserves and 25 days each of petrol, diesel stock: Government sources

India has sufficient stock of crude oil and that of energy products (that is, petrol and diesel) for the next twenty-five days each, cumulatively accounting for fifty days of sufficiency, sources in the government informed on Tuesday (March 3, 2026).

“We are in a reasonably comfortable position as far as crude oil is concerned,” the source informed, adding, “We have reserves of crude oil for twenty-five days, alongside energy products of twenty-five days as well.”

Essential to note, according to the source, the mentioned crude oil reserves do not include that from the emergency-earmarked Special Petroleum Reserves (SPR), in which case the sufficiency expands beyond 25 days.
