Claims circulating on social media platforms, especially Instagram and WhatsApp, over the past few days regarding petrol and diesel shortages have been found to be completely baseless and false. Petroleum companies and official sources have clarified that India has sufficient fuel reserves and the supply system is completely normal.

 

 

A reel is rapidly going viral on social media claiming that crude oil supplies to India will be disrupted due to Iran's closure of the Strait of Hormuz. The claim advises people to immediately go to a petrol pump to fill their vehicles to avoid a sharp price hike and shortages.
