Prime Minister Narendra Modi chaired a meeting of the Cabinet Committee on Security (CCS) at 7 Lok Kalyan Marg on Wednesday and reviewed measures taken by various departments amid the evolving situation in West Asia and its implications for India’s energy security, supply chains, and overall macroeconomic stability. The PM directed ministries to take urgent steps to safeguard essential supplies and citizens from the impact of the conflict.
In a post on X, PM Modi said that the CCS reviewed the steps being taken by various ministries and departments in the wake of the ongoing West Asia conflict and discussed the next set of initiatives to be taken.
The high-level committee assessed measures across energy, fertilisers, agriculture, logistics, and MSMEs and reviewed actions to ensure the availability of petroleum products, particularly LPG and LNG.
LPG prices for domestic consumers have been kept unchanged, while anti-diversion enforcement is being strengthened to curb hoarding and black marketing.
The Prime Minister also assessed the power situation, with officials highlighting steps such as additional coal supply to thermal plants and easing norms for gas-based power generation. “Enough coal stock exists, which shall serve power needs adequately in coming months,” said a release issued by the government.
