The Haryana government has urged private companies to adopt work-from-home (WFH) policies and staggered office schedules as part of a wider effort to reduce traffic congestion, fuel consumption, and energy use. The proposal comes amid concerns over rising fuel prices and global supply chain disruptions that are putting pressure on the economy.
The initiative is expected to have a major impact on Gurgaon, one of India's largest corporate hubs, where daily office commutes contribute significantly to traffic jams across the city and the National Capital Region (NCR). The Millennium City, which hosts the offices of several Fortune 500 firms and leading Indian companies, attracts nearly five lakh vehicles daily from Delhi, Faridabad and other NCR cities. With thousands of employees commuting to offices every day, the city routinely faces severe traffic snarls during rush hours.
