# India's Maruti Suzuki adopts fuel-saving measures

May 26 - India's Maruti Suzuki said on Tuesday it had introduced measures to curb ‌the use of petroleum and reduce foreign ‌currency spending, weeks after Prime Minister Narendra Modi urged citizens ​to adopt austerity steps amid a surge in energy prices.

Here are the details:

• India's top carmaker has asked employees to work from home where feasible, ‌and encouraged measures ⁠such as car pooling and use of public transport, according to its post ⁠on X.

• It has asked employees to avoid foreign travel unless critical for business needs and minimize ​domestic travel.

• ​Earlier this month, ​Modi urged citizens to ‌conserve fuel, limit foreign travel and refrain from purchasing gold, as high oil prices triggered by the Iran war put pressure on the country's foreign exchange reserves.

• India, the world's third-biggest oil importer, ‌hiked fuel prices a fourth ​time on Monday in a ​bid to recoup ​some losses driven by higher crude ‌costs.

• Maruti Suzuki said last ​week it ​would increase vehicle prices by up to 30,000 rupees ($313.55) from next month to cope with ​inflationary pressure ‌from a sharp increase in input costs.

($1 = 95.6800 ​Indian rupees)
