Prime Minister Narendra Modi has called for a resumption of work from home, reduced fuel usage, and avoidance of foreign travel to mitigate the economic impact of the ongoing US-Iran war. This initiative has received backing from Union Home Minister Amit Shah and Health Minister JP Nadda, who emphasized the need for 'national interest first' measures. Shah described Modi's appeal as a visionary approach to make India self-reliant and energy-secure. Union Minister of Petroleum and Natural Gas, Hardeep Singh Puri, highlighted the importance of these measures in conserving energy and managing the energy import bill. Since the onset of the conflict, the government has managed to protect over 60 million consumers and has reduced excise duties on retail fuel, despite facing revenue losses of ₹14,000 crore in just one month. The ministers' support reflects a growing concern over rising import costs, depleting foreign reserves, and inflation due to the prolonged conflict.
