Mumbai experienced an unprecedented surge in demand at petrol and diesel stations on Sunday May 10‑11, as drivers queued for fuel amid worries that the West Asia conflict could disrupt supplies and after Prime Minister Modi urged citizens to curb consumption. Pump owners reported sharply higher sales—one outlet selling nearly 12,000 litres versus its usual 8,000 litres on a Sunday—and longer waiting times for both fuels. The Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas, however, assured the public that crude inventories remain stable, refineries are running at optimal capacity and there are no fuel shortages or imminent rationing, adding that the government has implemented measures to keep supplies uninterrupted despite global energy‑supply disruptions.
