Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited (HPCL) on Tuesday said it has maintained stable fuel and LPG supply across the country despite a temporary spike in demand in some regions.
The company reported petrol sales of 2,27,086 KL and diesel sales of 4,05,398 KL between April 1 and 6, reflecting robust consumption. To meet demand, HPCL dispatched 40,215 tankers carrying petrol, diesel and PDS kerosene to ensure uninterrupted supply across its retail network.
In the LPG segment, HPCL delivered 75,18,000 cylinders during the period, including 1,45,447 Free Trade LPG cylinders of 5 kg and 13,600 cylinders of 2 kg, aimed at strengthening last-mile access for migrant workers and low-income households.
Digital adoption remains strong, with 94.5% of LPG bookings made through IVRS, SMS, missed call, HP PAY and WhatsApp platforms. Deliveries are authenticated through DAC/OTP systems to ensure transparency.
HPCL also intensified enforcement measures. Between March 14 and April 6, it conducted 4,302 inspections, acted against 68 distributors and suspended 25. Joint operations led to 656 raids, 40 FIRs and seizure of 3,163 LPG cylinders.
The company said supplies remain adequate and urged consumers to avoid panic buying while relying on official channels for updates.
