PM Narendra Modi apprised the Lok Sabha on the steps taken to ensure India's energy security during the US Israel war on Iran. Modi said India imports 60% of its LPG and that efforts were ongoing to prioritise domestic supply and ensure smooth petrol and diesel supply across the country. He highlighted how India's increased capacity of ethanol-petrol blending, that rose from 1% to 20% in the last 10 years, has come in handy by reducing India's oil imports during the war. Modi said India imported about 4.5 crore barrels less oil last year.
