The government has significantly reformed its fuel subsidy program by eliminating the five-liter purchase restriction per token and abolishing SMS transaction fees. Two and three-wheeler operators now benefit from enhanced relief measures, receiving four Rs500 vouchers monthly. These policy modifications aim to improve accessibility for small vehicle users while reducing administrative barriers. The revised scheme represents a structural shift toward more equitable fuel cost management for the transportation sector, particularly targeting motorcycles and auto-rickshaws.
