I am not suggesting that just by taking the Metro, I will save billions. But I hope others will follow.

India has large proven reserves of gas that remain unexploited.

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.

I am not playing for any lobby. I am playing for national lobby. I will ignore lobby. Anybody has useful suggestion, they can give it to me. The history will speak about it.

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

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

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