A recent report revealed that India’s strategic oil reserves are sufficient for only 9-10 days of crude imports, raising concerns over the country’s energy security. The finding highlights the limited buffer available to cushion supply disruptions. This short reserve duration underscores the need for stronger storage infrastructure. The report also notes the absence of dedicated strategic gas storage, exposing fertiliser plants and city gas networks to potential supply risks.
