Today, a noticeable petrol and diesel shortage was observed in several parts of Andhra Pradesh. In cities like Vijayawada, Guntur, Rajahmundry, Tirupati, and Kurnool, people were seen standing in long queues at petrol stations waiting to refuel their vehicles.
In Vijayawada, areas such as Benz Circle, Auto Nagar, and Patamata faced severe shortages. Many petrol bunks ran out of stock completely. Some fuel station owners said that supply might arrive by night. However, due to heavy rush since afternoon, the shortage became more visible.
In Guntur, areas like Brodipet and Ambedkar Nagar also experienced similar conditions. In Rajahmundry, near Godavari Pushkar Ghat, petrol was unavailable in several bunks, forcing people to travel to other areas.
Officials mentioned several key reasons behind this situation:
These factors together caused temporary disruption in supply.
Ramesh from Vijayawada said, “I have been waiting since 7 AM. It took two hours to get petrol.”
Sunitha, an employee from Guntur, said, “I got late to office. Every petrol bunk had long queues.”
The state government has reviewed the situation and is coordinating with oil companies. Officials clarified that steps are being taken to restore normal supply quickly and that this is only a temporary issue.
