India’s central government has clarified that Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s comments about working from home were not a mandatory policy measure. According to the statement summarized in the source, no work-from-home restrictions are being planned and no import curbs are currently under consideration. The government said the prime minister’s remarks were only an appeal aimed at fuel saving and responsible consumption. The clarification matters because market participants often watch such comments for signs of broader economic controls, supply restrictions, or demand-management steps that could affect trade, energy use, and business operations.
