Event Summary

Prime Minister Narendra Modi of India has appealed to citizens to conserve fuel, reduce gold purchases for weddings for one year, and revive work-from-home practices. This appeal comes amidst a global energy crisis driven by surging Petroleum prices, which have jumped from approximately USD 70 to USD 126 per barrel due to tensions in West Asia and disruptions around the Strait of Hormuz. Indian Oil Corporation, Bharat Petroleum, and Hindustan Petroleum are reportedly facing significant monthly under-recoveries, leading to speculation of a fuel price hike in India. The government is also encouraging reduced edible oil consumption and a shift to natural farming to save foreign exchange.
