On Wednesday, May 13, 2026, CM Samrat Chaudhary shared this update on X. He wrote that Prime Minister Narendra Modi urged minimum vehicle use for diesel and petrol savings. Therefore, the Bihar government took several important decisions.
Bihar Lists Seven Fuel-Saving Decisions

Second, Samrat Chaudhary appealed to ministers, corporation board chairpersons, members, officers, and representatives. He asked them to attend public events without extra vehicles.
Third, he urged Bihar’s people to prefer metro, buses, autos, or other public transport. Moreover, this appeal placed citizens at the centre of fuel-saving efforts. Fourth, the state government directed every department to arrange conferences and official meetings through video conferencing.
Fifth, Bihar instructed government office canteens to reduce palm oil use. Also, the government advised public and private offices to promote work-from-home culture. Seventh, Samrat Chaudhary urged everyone to observe one weekly “No Vehicle Day.”
Prem Kumar Says Vehicle Numbers Have Already Fallen
Meanwhile, Bihar Assembly Speaker Prem Kumar responded to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s appeal. He said, “We have reduced the number of vehicles. Our ministers are also working. Bihar’s people are also saving. In the coming time, people will certainly benefit from the Prime Minister’s call.”
Thus, Bihar has linked PM Modi’s fuel-saving message with official travel, public transport, office meetings, and weekly movement habits. Now, the focus turns to how ministers, departments, offices, and citizens follow these steps.
