Prime Minister Narendra Modi has significantly reduced his convoy size, sources said on Wednesday (May 13, 2026). This change was implemented during his recent domestic visit. The reduction in vehicles was done while maintaining essential security cover, according to the sources.
The move is seen as a cost-saving measure and an effort to minimize traffic disruptions. The exact number of vehicles removed from the convoy was not disclosed. The Prime Minister's Office did not immediately comment on the development.
This is not the first time Modi has taken steps to streamline his security arrangements. In 2019, he had reduced his security cover in some states to cut costs. The latest reduction aligns with the government's focus on austerity and efficiency.
