The Union Power Ministry of India has responded to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's appeal for energy conservation by advising public sector units (PSUs) to promote work from home and reduce foreign travel. The ministry suggested that employees could work from home one day a week, with up to 20% of the workforce permitted to do so any day. This initiative aligns with the ongoing economic challenges due to the West Asia crisis and rising global fuel prices, as India imports about 90% of its oil, with the oil import bill exceeding $123 billion in FY26. Additionally, the Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE) is launching a pilot program called 'RAHI: Action for High Efficiency Initiative' to encourage energy-efficient practices among employees. The Delhi government has also announced similar measures, including two days of work from home for its employees and a suspension of foreign trips for ministers for a year, in an effort to conserve resources.
