Amid the ongoing conflict in West Asia, India's energy security remains strong, with the government confirming 60 days of crude oil, 60 days of natural gas, and 45 days of LPG reserves. The Informal Group of Ministers (IGoM), chaired by Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, emphasized the importance of conserving fuel to mitigate the economic impact of rising global oil prices. Despite international volatility, India has managed to keep fuel prices stable, absorbing losses of approximately ₹1,000 crore daily (around $120 million USD) through its oil marketing companies. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has appealed to citizens for collective participation in reducing fuel consumption, which is vital for maintaining the country's foreign exchange reserves of $703 billion. The government aims to build long-term capacity and resilience against future supply chain disruptions by promoting public transport, carpooling, and reducing chemical fertilizer use in agriculture. The IGoM reassured the public that there is no immediate risk of shortages and urged against panic buying, highlighting that the current conservation efforts are a proactive measure rather than a response to empty reserves. The focus is on creating a self-reliant economy that can withstand global crises.
