Hyderabad, May 18 (RAHNUMA): Oil Marketing Companies (OMCs) on Monday clarified that petrol, diesel and LPG supplies across Telangana remain stable and sufficient to meet the current demand, dismissing rumours of shortages in the state.
According to the state-level coordinator for OMCs, public sector oil companies are closely monitoring the supply situation and taking necessary measures to streamline logistics and speed up deliveries. During the first fortnight of May, petrol supplies in the state rose by 14.2 per cent, while diesel supplies increased by 15.7 per cent.
OMCs also stated that domestic LPG bookings have declined due to the summer heat and there has been no panic booking by consumers. So far this month, 20.06 lakh domestic LPG cylinders have been delivered across Telangana, which officials described as normal for the season.
Consumers were encouraged to book LPG cylinders through SMS, missed calls, IVRS and online platforms. OMCs also appealed to customers to support the “Delivery Authentication Code” (DAC) system — an OTP-based cylinder delivery mechanism aimed at preventing diversion and ensuring delivery to genuine beneficiaries. Telangana has already achieved over 95 per cent DAC compliance, with efforts underway to reach 100 per cent.
The public was urged to rely only on authentic information sources and avoid spreading or believing fake news and rumours.
