Union Petroleum and Natural Gas Minister Hardeep Singh Puri on Tuesday dismissed concerns of any imminent lockdown-like restrictions after Prime Minister Narendra Modi urged citizens to adopt fuel-saving and austerity measures amid the ongoing West Asia crisis, asserting that India’s energy supplies remain stable despite global disruptions.
Addressing the CII Annual Business Summit 2026, Puri said there was no cause for panic even as the government pushes conservation measures similar to those seen during the COVID-19 period.
