They placed a price control on petroleum companies because the oil crisis was getting out of hand. There was an embargo on countries that produced oil and on oil trading and prices were skyrocketing, going up from 3$ per barrel to a 12$ per barrel, and even more in many countries. Without the price regulations the prices could go even higher and the oil industry could collapse because people wouldn't buy oil.

What is the most likely reason for why the Indus civilization ended?

Every conclusion regarding the decline is based upon speculations of historians on what they believe. Through research it is clear that fall of the Harappan Civilization occurred between 1800 BC to 1700 BC(ish). It is highly believed that the Aryans were the next settlers. They were skilled fighters, so their attack might have led to the fall of Harappan Civilization. Even The human remains found during excavation of Indus valley point towards some violent because of their death
