Indian refiners maintain 64.5 days of crude storage, so India has overall reserve oil storage of 74 days.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.livemint.com/news/india/india-to-leverage-low-prices-to-fill-strategic-crude-oil-reserves-11584431985105.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==History==&lt;br /&gt;
The [[Gulf War]] in 1990 caused a sharp rise in oil prices and a massive increase to India&amp;#039;s imports. During the subsequent [[1991 Indian economic crisis]], [[foreign exchange reserves]] could barely finance three weeks&amp;#039; worth of imports while the government came close to defaulting on its financial obligations. India was able to resolve the crisis through policies that [[Economic liberalisation in India|liberalised the economy]]. However, India continued to be impacted by the volatility of oil prices. In 1998, the [[Second Vajpayee ministry|Atal Bihari Vajpayee administration]] proposed building petroleum reserves as a long-term solution to managing the oil market.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;FT1&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite web |title=Why India is storing crude oil in underground caves, and who came up with the idea |url=https://www.financialexpress.com/economy/why-india-is-storing-crude-oil-in-underground-caves-and-who-came-up-with-the-idea/1224902/ |website=The Financial Express |accessdate=30 March 2020 |date=29 June 2018}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Three storage facilities were built in underground locations in [[Mangalore]], [[Visakhapatnam]] and [[Padur, Udupi Karnataka|Padur]].

&lt;br /&gt;
In the 2017-18 budget speech by the Indian finance minister Arun Jaitley, it was announced that two more such caverns will be set up [[Chandikhole]], Odisha and [[Bikaner]] in Rajasthan as part of the second phase. &amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Economic Times&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{Cite web|url=http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/industry/energy/oil-gas/government-to-build-2-crude-oil-storages-in-odisha-rajasthan/articleshow/56918925.cms|title=Government to build 2 crude oil storages in Odisha, Rajasthan|accessdate=2016-01-02|publisher=Economic Times}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; In June 2018, the [[Second Modi ministry|Narendra Modi administration]] approved the construction of a new storage facility in [[Chandikhole]] and doubling the capacity at Padur.
