Rationale
On 12 June 2026 the Ministry of Petroleum & Natural Gas imposed temporary restrictions on petrol/diesel sale and distribution (including a 200-litre/day diesel cap and rerouting of bulk buyers) due to supply strain during the West Asia crisis. On 29 June 2026 the government announced these temporary measures would be withdrawn with effect from 1 July 2026 as supply normalized. The broadcast (30 June 2026) statement that the temporary restrictions would be lifted from 1 July matches the official government decision and wire/PIB-adjacent reporting.
