Saudi Arabia to supply LPG: Dharmendra Pradhan

The Cabinet Minister of Petroleum & Natural Gas and Minister of Steel, Shri Dharmendra Pradhan said on Sunday that he had discussed global oil market developments with Saudi Energy Minister Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman and Aramco’s Chief Executive Amin Nasser as well as uninterrupted LPG supplies to India. “Prince Abdulaziz assured (me) of LPG supplies in the coming days to support our domestic requirement,” he tweeted. 

This comes after two Indian refiners declared force majeure on crude purchases from the Middle East after fuel demand plummeted due to a nationwide lockdown to stem the spread of coronavirus and the companies’ tanks are full.
