The rollback of work-from-home and other austerity measures by the India — Delhi government signals a return to normal economic activity, potentially increasing fuel demand and reducing reliance on public transport. This could have a minor positive impact on local businesses and a slight negative impact on fuel prices if demand rises significantly.

The India — Delhi government, led by Chief Minister Rekha Gupta, has withdrawn its work-from-home policy for government employees on Wednesdays and Saturdays and revised office timings for India — Government of Delhi offices to 10:00 AM to 6:30 PM. This decision reverses austerity and fuel-saving measures implemented in May, which were prompted by Prime Minister Narendra Modi's appeal amid global uncertainties linked to the West Asia conflict, specifically mentioning the war between the United States and Iran. The India — Municipal Corporation of Delhi's timings remain unchanged. The government cited the 'normalisation of the geopolitical situation' as the reason for these changes, which also included a 'Metro Monday' initiative, a freeze on foreign visits, and a ban on new vehicle purchases.
