During an event in Hyderabad, Prime Minister Narendra Modi stressed the importance of using petroleum products judiciously due to the ongoing oil crisis in West Asia, particularly the US-Iran conflict affecting supply routes like the Strait of Hormuz. He stated, “the need of the hour is to use petrol, gas, diesel and such things with great restraint,” highlighting that this approach would conserve foreign exchange and mitigate the war's adverse effects. Modi noted India's significant progress in renewable energy, particularly in solar power and ethanol blending, as part of a broader strategy to reduce dependence on imported fuels. He inaugurated development projects worth approximately ₹9,400 crore (roughly $1.13 billion USD), including the Kakatiya Mega Textile Park in Warangal, which is India's first fully functional PM MITRA Park, designed to enhance the textile value chain. Other projects involve highway upgrades and railway enhancements, reflecting the government's commitment to modern infrastructure and energy diversification.
