Prime Minister Narendra Modi issued advisories asking citizens to adopt fuel-saving and economic precautionary measures amid global uncertainty, rising oil prices, and supply chain concerns.
India imports nearly 85–90% of its crude oil requirements, making the country vulnerable to global oil price shocks and foreign exchange pressure.
The advisories include reducing petrol and diesel usage, preferring public transport, encouraging carpooling, adopting work from home, and conducting online meetings.
Citizens were advised to shift goods transportation to railways and avoid unnecessary domestic and foreign travel.
The Prime Minister also advised people to reduce overseas destination weddings and avoid non-essential gold purchases to reduce import pressure.
The advisories encouraged support for “Made in India” products, reduction in cooking oil consumption, and use of locally manufactured goods.
Farmers were advised to reduce chemical fertiliser usage and promote natural farming practices.
The measures also promote electric vehicles (EVs), solar-powered alternatives, and solar pumps to reduce fuel imports and energy dependency.
