Kolkata, Apr 11th: Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited (HPCL) continues to demonstrate exceptional operational strength and agility, delivering one of its most intensive supply cycles in recent times while ensuring uninterrupted availability of fuel and LPG across the country.
Between 1st and 9th April 2026, HPCL recorded sales of 3,40,573 KL of Petrol and 6,17,185 KL of Diesel, reflecting robust mobility demand across regions. To support this surge, the Company mobilised its nationwide logistics backbone, dispatching 62,534 tankers and enabling the movement of over 9.57 lakh KL of fuel, ensuring seamless replenishment across its extensive retail network.
This scale of operations highlights HPCL’s ability to combine speed, coordination, and resilience, even as demand intensifies in select markets.
In the LPG segment, HPCL delivered 132.4 lakh cylinders during the same period, maintaining stable and reliable supply to households across India. The Company also strengthened last-mile accessibility by supplying 2,63,120 Free Trade LPG cylinders of 5 Kg and 19,236 cylinders of 2 Kg, supporting the evolving energy needs of migrant and underserved communities.
A defining feature of HPCL’s current operations is its near-complete digital transformation. With 99.3% of LPG bookings now routed through digital platforms—including IVRS, SMS, WhatsApp and HP PAY—the Company has significantly enhanced convenience, speed, and transparency. Each delivery is secured through DAC/OTP-based authentication, ensuring a seamless and tamper-proof consumer experience.
Alongside supply augmentation, HPCL has reinforced its vigilance architecture to protect consumer interests and maintain system integrity. Between 14th March and 9th April 2026, the Company conducted 4,681 inspections, taking action against 95 distributors, including the suspension of 28 distributorships. In coordination with other Oil Marketing Companies and State authorities, 658 raids were carried out, leading to the registration of 41 FIRs and the seizure of 3,172 LPG cylinders.
This dual focus on scale and scrutiny underscores HPCL’s zero-tolerance approach to malpractices, particularly during periods of heightened demand.
HPCL reiterated that fuel and LPG supplies remain stable and adequate across its network, and any temporary pressure in select locations is primarily driven by short-term demand spikes and precautionary buying behaviour, rather than any systemic supply disruption.
Consumers are advised to avoid panic-driven purchases and adhere to normal consumption patterns, while relying on official HPCL communication channels for accurate information.
With its ability to combine operational scale, digital innovation, and strong field-level enforcement, HPCL continues to ensure that India’s energy needs are met seamlessly, reliably, and responsibly—even under peak demand conditions.
