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

It's a voluntary act. I cannot punish anyone not taking the public transport, but I want everyone, from the highest ranking officers to the lowest, to take public transport every Wednesday.

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

India has large proven reserves of gas that remain unexploited.

Fuel conservation is a necessity, and I have to be the first person to set the example.

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.

The consumption of petroleum should be conserved. We need to adopt some austerity measures. The people should cooperate with us.
