India is rolling out a national fuel conservation mission to respond to global energy market instability. The Centre says it has strong supply buffers—60 days of crude oil, 60 days of natural gas, and 45 days of LPG rolling stock—while urging public participation to curb consumption. Prime Minister Modi framed the push as protection for foreign exchange reserves and relief from high international crude prices.
