As the conflict in West Asia escalates, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has urged citizens to implement cost-cutting measures, including avoiding gold purchases and postponing foreign travel. The ongoing crisis has disrupted global oil supply chains, leading to increased fuel prices. India is currently maintaining 60 days of crude oil and natural gas supply and 45 days of LPG stock, despite oil marketing companies incurring losses of nearly ₹1,000 crore daily. Foreign reserves have decreased to $703 billion, down from an all-time high of $728.5 billion in February 2026, largely due to rising import bills. Additionally, Modi has encouraged farmers to reduce chemical fertilizer use by 50% to promote natural farming practices, while the government reports a robust fertilizer stock of 199.65 LMT, significantly above the usual levels. This proactive approach aims to mitigate the economic fallout from the conflict and maintain essential supplies.
