Maharashtra's Industries Minister, Uday Samant, announced the state government's proactive steps to address export finance and alternative fuel arrangements in light of the ongoing West Asia crisis. These issues will be discussed with the Central government as the state seeks collaborative solutions.

Following discussions with industrial associations in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, Samant emphasized the need for financial and energy security amidst the US-Israeli conflict with Iran. He plans to approach Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis for immediate aid and long-term strategies, including meetings with Union Petroleum Minister Hardeep Singh Puri if needed.
