Prime Minister Narendra Modi has reduced the size of his official convoy to two SUVs—a Range Rover Sentinel and a Toyota Fortuner—to promote fuel conservation amid the global energy crisis linked to the West Asia situation. The Special Protection Group maintains security standards despite the downsizing and plans to increase electric vehicles in the convoy. This move has sparked discussions about VIP convoy sizes, including those of celebrities like Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan, known for their large security entourages.
