In a decisive move to address the energy crisis exacerbated by the West Asia conflict, the Delhi government has introduced a mandatory work from home (WFH) policy for its employees, requiring them to work remotely two days a week. This decision aligns with Prime Minister Narendra Modi's nationwide appeal to conserve fuel and protect India's foreign exchange reserves amid rising fuel prices and supply chain disruptions. Chief Minister Rekha Gupta announced that all government offices in Delhi will implement this WFH schedule immediately, alongside a directive to conduct 50% of official meetings virtually. To further reduce fuel consumption, the government is enforcing a 20% cut in fuel limits for official vehicles and has placed a six-month moratorium on new vehicle purchases. Additionally, 58 special buses have been deployed to promote public transport usage. Other states, including Tripura and Uttar Pradesh, are considering similar measures, with Uttar Pradesh's Chief Minister urging both public and private sectors to adopt the WFH model. The Prime Minister's appeal is framed as a matter of national interest, aiming to decrease the country's import bill while maintaining economic productivity. The private sector is also expected to shift towards hybrid work models as companies assess their operational flexibility in response to rising logistical costs.
