CII Calls for Coordinated National Strategy on India's Fuel, Fertiliser, and Food Challenges

The Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) has urged India to address the interconnected challenges of fuel, fertiliser, and food—termed the '3Fs'—as a unified economic issue. Highlighting India's heavy import dependence and the impact of West Asia geopolitical tensions on prices and inflation, CII called for coordinated short-term measures and long-term reforms. Recommendations include expanding ethanol blending, developing LNG trucking corridors, and promoting cleaner cooking alternatives to reduce external vulnerabilities and stabilize inflation and household welfare.
