Prime Minister Narendra Modi reiterated his appeal for fuel conservation amid the ongoing West Asia crisis and rising global energy concerns, urging citizens to adopt work-from-home practices, online classes and reduced non-essential consumption. A day after first calling for lower fuel usage, Modi again advised people to avoid unnecessary gold purchases and support “vocal for local” initiatives to reduce economic pressure and conserve foreign exchange reserves. His remarks come as fears grow over potential fuel price hikes and global supply disruptions linked to escalating geopolitical tensions in West Asia. The Prime Minister’s renewed appeal highlights the government’s push for energy conservation, economic resilience and reduced import dependence during the evolving international crisis.
