The Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas has assured citizens that there is no shortage of petrol, diesel, or LPG in the country.
This clarification comes amid concerns linked to the situation around the Strait of Hormuz, a key global oil route.
According to the government, LPG supply to households remains normal, and there are no reports of distributors running out of stock.
Why the DAC System Is Important
One key system helping smooth delivery is the Delivery Authentication Code (DAC).
More than 93% of LPG deliveries are now completed using DAC, making the process more secure and transparent.
The DAC is sent to your registered mobile number and must be shared with the delivery person to receive your cylinder.
This system helps prevent misuse and diversion of LPG cylinders.
How to Get Your DAC Number
Getting your DAC is simple.
Once you book an LPG cylinder, the code is automatically generated and sent to your phone via SMS or WhatsApp.
For users of Indian Oil Corporation Limited (Indane), you can book a cylinder in multiple ways:
Missed call: 8454955555
SMS: Send “IOC” to 7718955555
Call/IVRS: 7718955555
WhatsApp: Use the official IndianOil channel
After booking, your DAC will be shared instantly.
Government Issues Advisory to Citizens
The government has also urged people not to panic.
There is no need for bulk buying or stockpiling fuel or LPG.
Citizens are advised to rely only on official updates and avoid rumours.
They are also encouraged to use digital booking methods instead of visiting distributors in person.
Final Take
Despite global concerns, fuel supply in India remains stable.
With systems like DAC in place, LPG delivery is becoming safer and more efficient.
For consumers, the key is simple—book normally, avoid panic, and trust official information.
