Interacting with mediapersons in Chandigarh on Thursday, Puri said that India has diversified its energy resources and the global oil supply is much more than ever.
'Our Indian average consumption of oil is three times the global average. Because the economy is growing at a rate of 6.5% on an average, the consumption is also increasing. I have been saying this on record for the last many weeks now that there is no shortage of crude oil in the world. There is more and more crude oil coming from the market from the western hemisphere,' he said.
The United States is the largest producer, with 13 million barrels produced per day. They are going to add another 1.5 million barrels. Canada, Brazil, etc. So there is more oil coming to the market,' he added.
India is getting oil from Brazil, Guyana, Canada, the US and others too.

Did Zohran Mamdani lie on his naturalization form? Rep Andy Ogles wonders
Zohran Mamdani, the Indian-Ugandan-born candidate, who recently clinched the Democratic nomination for mayor, is being repeatedly torched by Tennessee Congressman Andy Ogles, who is even questioning the legitimacy of his U.S. citizenship. Ogles questions Mamdani's naturalisation, citing past rap lyrics related to a convicted charity, suggesting potential grounds for denaturalisation.(AFP. X/Andy Ogles) Raised in the US since Mamdani immigrated here with his family two decades ago. He became a US citizen in 2018. Since he has made a career out of state politics, having been elected to the New York State Assembly in 2020.

If you lied on your N-400 naturalization forms, you're going home,' Ogles wrote in a X post, that was posted last night. This continues a recent series of X post where Ogles urged federal authorities to investigate Mamdani's naturalisation, raising the possibility that he may have gained citizenship through 'willful misrepresentation or concealment of material support for terrorism.' 'Zohran 'little muhammad' Mamdani is an antisemitic, socialist, communist who will destroy the great City of New York. He needs to be DEPORTED. Which is why I am calling for him to be subject to denaturalization proceedings,' Ogles wrote in another post. While the claims stem from Mamdani's past career as a rapper when he reportedly used the phrase, 'Free the Holy Land Five / My guys,' a line alluding to the Holy Land Foundation, a Texas-based charity that was convicted in 2008 for funnelling money to Hamas. 'While I understand that some may raise First Amendment concerns about taking legal action based on expressive conduct, such as rap lyrics, speech alone does not preclude accountability where it reasonably suggests underlying conduct relevant to eligibility of naturalization,' Ogles wrote. 'If an individual publicly glorifies a group convicted of financing terrorism, it is entirely appropriate for federal authorities to inquire whether the individual engaged in non-public forms of support — such as organizational affiliation, fundraising, or advocacy — that would have required disclosure on Form N-400 or during a naturalization interview.'

The N-400, which every permanent resident applies to and has to fill out, is the process of gaining the status of U.S. citizenship. These are such questions as the mentioned membership in organisations, political parties, and engagement in any activities which may be deemed as a threat to the U.S. national security. 'The naturalization process depends on the good-faith disclosure of any affiliation with, or support for, groups that threaten US national security,' Ogles continued. 'If Mr. Mamdani concealed relevant associations, that concealment may constitute a material misrepresentation sufficient to support denaturalization under federal law.'

52 stocks hit 52-week lows, 164 stocks at 52-week high as Nifty 50, Sensex end higher 4th straight session
Stock market today: On Friday, 164 stocks hit their 52-week high, Abbott India Ltd, Affle 3I Ltd, Bharti Airtel Ltd, Bharti Hexacom Ltd, Dalmia Bharat Ltd, Fortis Healthcare Ltd, Gillette India Ltd, Godfrey Phillips India Ltd, Grasim Industries Ltd, HDFC Life Insurance Company Ltd, InterGlobe Aviation Ltd, Max Healthcare Institute Ltd, Multi Commodity Exchange of India Ltd (MCX), and Poonawalla Fincorp Ltd. In contrast, 52 stocks touched 52-week lows, with notable mentions like Axita Cotton Ltd, Digitide Solutions Ltd, Vikram Kamats Hospitality Ltd, Ola Electric Mobility Ltd, Uma Exports Ltd, and V R Films & Studios Ltd. The Indian stock market concluded the day with a positive trend, showcasing investor confidence due to reduced global tensions and encouraging local factors. The BSE Sensex rose by roughly 303 points, finishing close to 84,058, while the Nifty50 increased by around 88 points to close near 25,637. This upward movement in the market was largely fueled by robust performances in sectors like Oil & Gas and PSU Banks, with the Nifty Oil & Gas index climbing over 0.5%. Vaibhav Vidwani, a Research Analyst at Bonanza, noted that the favourable conclusion was driven by expectations of possible delays in US tariff deadlines, enhanced global market confidence, and a reduction in geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, all of which increased investors' willingness to take risks. Furthermore, the Indian rupee appreciated against the dollar, trading approximately at 85.51, which also contributed to positive market sentiment.
