Union Petroleum Minister Hardeep Singh Puri dismissed the pro-Khalistani protests in Canada as hired stooges ahead of the G7 Summit, labeling them not to be taken seriously. He assured that India's energy reserves are strong despite rising fuel prices due to the Iran-Israel conflict. Minister Puri highlighted the growth of India's own bio-fuel blending from 1.4% to 20% and emphasized the emergence of green hydrogen as a tangible fuel source, mentioning IOCL's hydrogen-fueled buses project. The global markets reacted to the Iran-Israel tensions, with oil and gold prices climbing. Puri's remarks were made at an exhibition celebrating 11 years of PM Modi's government and 100 days of the Delhi government in New Delhi, where he also addressed the advancements in the green energy sector.
