In light of the ongoing Middle East crisis, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has urged Indian citizens to exercise restraint in the use of petrol and diesel. Speaking at an event where he inaugurated development projects worth ₹9,400 crore in Telangana, he emphasized that limiting the consumption of imported petro products can help conserve foreign exchange and lessen the economic impact of international conflicts. Modi highlighted India's achievements in solar power and ethanol blending, calling for a collective effort to address global economic disruptions and rising prices. He encouraged citizens to use public transport, carpool, and opt for electric vehicles to reduce fuel consumption. Additionally, Modi requested families to avoid unnecessary foreign travel and non-essential gold purchases for one year to alleviate pressure on foreign exchange reserves. He also advised farmers to cut chemical fertilizer use by 50% and adopt natural farming practices to enhance soil health and reduce reliance on imports.
