Modi Races to Give Indians Biometric IDs in Graft Fight: Economy

At a roadside eatery along Delhi’s border, truck driver Anil Yadav walked straight through the dining room, past the kitchen and out to a backyard that held two large drums of kerosene. It was time to fill up the tank.

Known as “The Depot,” the restaurant sells fuel stolen from India’s public distribution system, which doles out staples to the poor at below-market prices. Truckers mix the cheaper kerosene with diesel, saving some cash in a country where three of every five people live on less than $2 per day.
