Why India is hiding oil in caves

为什么印度把石油储藏在洞里

NEW DELHI: During the Gulf War in 1990, India was hit with a crisis so severe that the country was left with oil reserves adequate for just 3 days. Oil prices shot up alarmingly as a fall out of the war and triggered an inflationary spiral across the world and India could not escape the heat.

新德里：1990年海湾战争期间，印度遭受了严重的危机，该国仅剩3天的石油储备。随着战争的结束，油价急剧上涨，引发了全球通胀的的恶性循环，印度也无法独善其身。

As the government's coffers bled heavily in buying high-priced crude, India's forex reserves came down to $1.2 billion at the end of April 1991. To put this into perspective, in the week ended June 15, the country's foreign currency assets stood at $410.07 billion.

国家金库因购买高价原油而大量失血，印度的外汇储备在1991年4月底降至12亿美元。截至6月15日那一周，印度的外汇资产仅剩4100.7亿美元。

Even though the forex reserves are nowhere close to the dismal state it saw in 1991, volatility in global oil prices and its vagaries may be tracked as recently as to the spike in petrol and diesel prices a few weeks back that sent the government scampering for policy changes.

尽管现今的外汇储备一扫1991年的低迷，但全球油价的波动及变幻莫测，就如同几周前汽油和柴油价格的突然飙升，导致政府急于对政策作出修改。

In its bid for long-term solution, India is looking towards caves that store oil. Called strategic petroleum reserves (SPRs), these caves are aimed at providing buffer from external price and supply shocks.

为了寻求长期解决方案，印度正在寻找储存石油的洞穴。这些洞穴被称为战略石油储备库，旨在为国外油价和供应冲击提供缓冲。

India already has three underground storage facilities, built at the cost of Rs 4,100 crore that can store 5.33 million tonnes (MMT) of crude oil. The one in Visakhapatnam is already filled with 1.33 MMT of oil, another in Mangalore is filled to a fourth of its 1.50 MMT capacity, and the third in Padur, Karnataka, is built but awaiting oil for storage.

印度已经有三个地下储油库，建造成本为410亿卢比，可以储存533万桶原油。维萨卡帕特南的储油库已经装满了133万桶石油，芒格洛尔的储油库已经装满了150万桶容量的四分之一，卡纳塔克邦的帕都尔的第三座储油库已建成，但还在等待石油入库。

The cabinet has now approved two more SPRs -- a 4.4 million tonnes SPR at Chandikhol in Odisha and a 2.5 million tonnes facility at Padur in Karnataka.

内阁现在又批准了另外两座储油库——位于奥里萨邦昌迪克霍尔的储油库储量为440万桶、位于卡纳塔克邦帕德乌储油库储量为250万桶。

The oil in the three SPRs already built can help meet 10 days of crude requirement, and the two planned ones can hold supply of about 12 more days.

目前已经建成的三座储油库能够储备10天的原油需求量，而两座计划中的储油库可以储备另外12天左右的原油需求量。

It’s serious issue, but general public ask why price increase but never thought to use other mode of transportation or public transport. Sure india is rich compared to 1991

这是一个非常严重的问题，但是广大市民只问为什么油价会上涨，却从没想过采用其他交通方式或大众交通。当然啦，与1991年相比，印度是更有钱了
