Prime Minister Narendra Modi urges people in India to adopt new steps to reduce fuel use as tensions tied to the Iran conflict continue. Multiple outlets report that Modi calls for increased working-from-home arrangements, similar to measures used during the Covid-19 period, and for limiting foreign travel. The aim is to ease pressure on India’s fuel consumption and help conserve foreign exchange. The guidance is presented as part of broader austerity efforts intended to strengthen energy efficiency during a period of heightened geopolitical risk and potential disruption to fuel supplies. While the reports differ in emphasis, they converge on the core message: Modi is promoting behavioural changes—remote work where possible and reduced overseas travel—to lower demand for fuel and related spending. The measures are framed as practical, achievable actions for households and businesses rather than new industrial policy. Overall, the statements reflect concerns about costs and supply stability linked to regional conflict developments involving Iran and wider international activity.
