Posted On: 26 MAY 2026 6:08PM by PIB Ahmedabad

State Level Coordinator (SLC) Gujarat has said that PSU OMCs continues to maintain smooth and uninterrupted supplies of Petrol (MS), Diesel (HSD) and LPG across Gujarat amid the ongoing seasonal increase in fuel demand in several districts of the state.

In recent days, PSU OMCs has witnessed a significant surge in the off take of petroleum products across Gujarat. In the month of May, Petrol (MS) retail sales have recorded a year-on-year growth of 28 %, while Diesel (HSD) retail sales have grown by 41%.

The current increase in diesel demand is primarily driven by agricultural activities across farming regions, where farmers are actively preparing fields for the upcoming sowing season. PSU OMCs has been closely coordinating logistics and supply operations to ensure uninterrupted fuel availability for agricultural as well as domestic needs.

Farmers and customers from districts including Banaskantha, Sabarkantha, Junagadh, Bhavnagar, Valsad, Navsari, Kheda, Anand & Amreli have shared positive feedback regarding the smooth availability of diesel and uninterrupted services at retail outlets of PSU oil companies.

A farmer from Amreli District shared, “This is an important time for farming activities, and we require diesel regularly for tractors and field preparation. We are getting fuel without any issue from retail outlets of PSU Oil Companies.

Another customer from Kheda District said, “Diesel is easily available at the PSU OMCs retail outlet near our village, which is supporting farmers well during this busy farming season.”

PSU OMCs reassure consumers that adequate stocks of Petrol, Diesel and LPG are available across the country. Citizens are advised to continue with normal purchasing behaviour and avoid panic buying, and to rely only on official communications from PSU OMCs and its authorised agencies for accurate information on fuel availability.
