Amit Shah cuts convoy size by over 50% amid Centres austerity push

Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Wednesday reduced the size of his official convoy by more than 50 per cent, in line with Prime Minister Narendra Modis recent call for austerity and responsible fuel consumption amid the ongoing West Asia crisis. Visuals captured by ANI showed the scaled-down convoy as Shah left his Delhi residence to attend a Cabinet meeting. Despite the reduction, all mandatory vehicles required under the Central Reserve Police Forces Z+ security protocol remained part of the convoy. Officials, while declining to disclose specific security details, said the move marks one of the first visible implementations of the Prime Ministers austerity directive. Earlier, Modi had urged citizens and government departments to adopt measures aimed at conserving fuel and reducing unnecessary expenditure. According to reports, the Prime Minister had also reduced the size of his own convoy during recent visits to Gujarat and Assam, while directing officials to incorporate electric vehicles into official convoys wherever feasible without making fresh purchases. The austerity measures come amid rising global crude oil prices and economic concerns triggered by tensions in West Asia and disruptions around the Strait of Hormuz. India, one of the worlds largest oil importers, is closely monitoring the situation as higher energy prices threaten to impact inflation and economic growth.
