The possibility of the Gulf crisis expanding to other areas would create series of new problems and be worrying, Indian Oil Minister Haredeep Singh Puri said in an interview to news channel CNN-News 18 on Monday. 

 

"It may remain a conflict not ?confined to that theater … you know you could ?have problems ?elsewhere. Maybe some ?other theater starts ‌off. That would be ?worrying," Puri said. 

 

At the same time, he assured citizens that New Delhi has oil and gas reserves to last 75-80 days. That is on the higher side of India's strategic reserves capacity.
