State leaders implement austerity measures, reducing convoy sizes and promoting public transport in response to PM Modi's appeal for resource efficiency.
In keeping with Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s ‘seven appeals’ for responsible fuel consumption amid the West Asia crisis, Union Home Minister Amit Shah reduced the size of his convoy to less than half on Wednesday (May 13, 2026).
The reduction in the number of vehicles in the Home Minister’s convoy has been implemented as part of a broader government effort to promote efficient resource use while maintaining all mandatory security arrangements.
