Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav has praised Prime Minister Narendra Modi for the recent reduction in excise duty on petrol and diesel, calling it a timely and visionary decision taken in the larger public interest. Amid escalating tensions in the Middle East and rising global fuel prices, the move is aimed at shielding Indian consumers from additional financial burden while ensuring uninterrupted fuel supply across the country. Yadav highlighted that the central government’s proactive approach will help stabilize domestic fuel prices and support oil refineries in maintaining smooth operations. He emphasized that at a time when international markets are witnessing volatility, the decision reflects strong policy planning and commitment toward economic stability. The Chief Minister further noted that the reduction in excise duty will not only ease pressure on common citizens but also sustain the operational efficiency of oil companies. He described the move as a balanced step that safeguards both consumer interests and business continuity. Calling the decision a significant relief measure, especially during a period of global uncertainty, Yadav also extended his congratulations to the Prime Minister, linking the announcement with the spirit of public welfare during the festive occasion of Ram Navami. The development underscores the government’s focus on cushioning domestic markets from external shocks while prioritizing affordability and accessibility of essential commodities like fuel.
