In a bid to cool rising oil prices amid the ongoing Middle East crisis the Trump administration has begun releasing crude from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR), lending 45.2 million barrels to energy companies in its first round. The volume released so far represents just over half of the 86 million barrels the administration had earlier said it would make available in the initial phase. The broader plan is to lend a total of 172 million barrels, with deliveries scheduled through this year and into the next, according to Reuters.

The ministry said India has a total stocking capacity of about 74 days, while the current stock cover stands at around 60 days.

Oil reserves by country: Countries that depend on oil imports or play a major role in global energy markets often maintain large emergency reserves and storage systems. These reserves act as a safety buffer during supply disruptions, helping governments stabilize markets and maintain fuel supplies when global energy flows are interrupted.
