Petrol price is a deregulated commodity, price of which is decided by our oil marketing companies based on input cost and other parameters.

Saving petrol is saving India's money. This is a sense of patriotism. The country can be energy-independent by energy conservation. I appeal to the other ministers also to do this.

We as a nation have no choice but to conserve fuel to the best of our abilities or be prepared for harsh measures like steep price increase, if the need so arises.

We need to do more to conserve fuel or face tougher choices such as steep price increase or even quantitative restrictions.

Those who know me would tell you, 'Moily can't be cowed down.' I have plans to enhance domestic oil and gas production.

By 2020, 50 percent of imports should be reduced, which should become 75 percent by 2025. By 2030, India should be energy independent.
