‘We’re not like India’: Pakistan minister admits to no strategic oil reserves, says stocks for only '5-7 days’

Pakistan's petroleum minister admits that the country does not have strategic oil reserves like India, only commercial reserves. Islamabad has crude stocks for just five to seven days, whereas India can tap into its significantly larger reserves with a single signature. The contrast highlights broader economic differences, with India's financial strength and strategic reserves helping it cushion global shocks.
