Singh said that all the plants and supply locations are operational.

Regarding this matter, Singh said that there is no shortage of fuel in the country and customers do not need to book LPG refill in Afra-Tafari.

With this, the demand for ATF has decreased by 20%. He said, 'An increase in consumption of LPG has been recorded and we are extending service to all customers. Since the lockdown, the demand for LPG refills has seen a surge of over 200 per cent. '' There is no need to book in panic. We have enough stock to meet the demand. ''
