Event Summary

Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced that India successfully mitigated the energy crisis triggered by the conflict in West Asia through timely decision-making, effective diplomacy, and prudent resource management. He made these remarks while inaugurating the Pachpadra refinery, an integrated refinery-cum-petrochemical complex in India — Rajasthan. India diversified its fuel sourcing from 25-26 countries to 40, maximized domestic Liquefied petroleum gas production, and expanded PNG connections. The Indian government also absorbed losses of Rs 75,000 crore incurred by Petroleum industry to prevent steep domestic fuel price hikes, keeping Liquefied petroleum gas cylinders at around Rs 950 despite global Petroleum price surges. Narendra Modi also highlighted other development projects in India — Rajasthan, including the inauguration of the Jodhpur Airport terminal and the virtual laying of the foundation stone for Jaipur Metro Phase-2, and an agreement between India — Rajasthan and India — Haryana for Yamuna water supply.
