PM Modi Urges Fuel Conservation Through Efficient Driving, Public Transport, and Hybrid Work

Amid rising global crude oil prices and geopolitical tensions, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has urged Indian citizens to reduce fuel consumption to ease the country's import burden. Suggested measures include adopting fuel-efficient driving habits, increased use of public transport like metros, shifting to shared mobility options, and reviving work-from-home or hybrid office models. These steps aim to lower fuel demand, reduce expenses, and mitigate the impact of volatile fuel prices on India's economy and foreign exchange reserves.
