State-run fuel retailers are losing about ₹1,000 crore every day because of high energy costs, according to Petroleum Minister Hardeep Singh Puri.

Meanwhile, policymakers are pushing for smarter spending, easier regulations, and a bigger focus on making things in India, not just assembling them.
Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal also pointed out that energy efficiency reforms have already saved $10 billion a year and stressed that self-reliance is key if India wants to ride out this storm.
