Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s call for austerity and reduced fuel consumption amid the ongoing West Asia crisis is now reflecting across the BJP-led governments, with several Union ministers and chief ministers downsizing their convoys, cutting discretionary travel and pushing for greater use of electric vehicles and public transport.
