Prime Minister Narendra Modi has urged citizens to use petrol, diesel, and gas with great restraint amid continuing global energy supply concerns linked to the ongoing West Asia crisis. Modi made the remarks while addressing an event in Hyderabad on Sunday, where he emphasized the need to consume imported petro products only when necessary to reduce pressure on foreign exchange reserves and limit the economic impact of global disruptions on India.
The event focused on infrastructure, manufacturing, connectivity, and energy-related projects across the state of Telangana, including highway expansion works and railway infrastructure projects.
Modi linked fuel conservation to India's energy security and import dependence, highlighting the country's progress in renewable energy adoption over the last decade.
The Prime Minister also referred to initiatives such as ethanol blending in petrol, LPG expansion, and the growth of CNG infrastructure as part of broader efforts to strengthen energy security.
The government is expected to continue monitoring the global energy situation and may announce further measures to promote fuel conservation and reduce dependence on imported fuels.
