In response to the ongoing geopolitical crisis in West Asia and the resulting spike in global crude oil prices, the Supreme Court of India has implemented several fuel conservation measures. Chief Justice Surya Kant announced that virtual hearings will be mandatory on Mondays and Fridays during the court's partial working days in June and July. Additionally, judges will carpool to reduce fuel consumption, and up to 50% of registry staff will be permitted to work from home for two days each week. This initiative aims to optimize fuel usage and reflects the Union government's broader appeal for energy conservation, as Prime Minister Narendra Modi has urged citizens to adopt similar practices. The Supreme Court's circular emphasizes the need for stable video-conferencing facilities to ensure smooth operations. Amid these measures, India has also increased petrol and diesel prices by ₹3 per litre, marking the first hike in four years. The Reserve Bank of India has cautioned that if the geopolitical situation persists, consumers may face further price increases due to the country's reliance on imported crude oil, which accounts for over 80% of its requirements.
