With global oil prices under pressure due to escalating tensions in West Asia, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has urged citizens to adopt nine practical measures to conserve fuel and foreign exchange. Speaking at a public event, he highlighted that working from home, a practice popularized during the COVID-19 pandemic, could significantly reduce petrol and diesel consumption. Modi also encouraged businesses to hold online meetings to minimize travel. For urban commuters, he recommended using public transport like metros and buses instead of private vehicles. Carpooling was suggested as a way to reduce the number of cars on the road. Additionally, he urged citizens to consider postponing non-essential foreign travel and gold purchases to help conserve foreign currency. Industries were advised to shift freight movement to rail, which is more fuel-efficient than road transport. Modi concluded by stressing the need for restraint in the use of petrol, diesel, and gas during this global crisis.
