India’s fuel demand surges 5.7% due to booming economy

Diesel sales rise by 6%, attributed to heightened factory operations and a rising demand for truck transportation

India witnessed a 5.7% surge in fuel consumption in February compared to the same month last year, according to recent data released by the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas. 

The nation, ranking as the third-largest importer of crude oil globally, experienced a rise in total fuel usage to nearly 5 million barrels per day, equivalent to over 19.7 million metric tons, as reported by the ministry’s Petroleum Planning and Analysis Cell.

This increase represents a 5.1% growth in daily fuel consumption from January, adjusting for the longer duration of January. 

Diesel sales, a critical component of India’s fuel consumption, soared by more than 6% in February 2024, both in a year-on-year comparison and against January 2024’s figures. 

The surge in diesel usage is attributed to heightened factory operations and a rising demand for truck transportation.

Predictions by experts, including Viktor Katona, a leading crude analyst at Kpler, suggest that India’s diesel demand will reach unprecedented levels later this year, potentially surpassing 2 million barrels per day by June—a first in the nation’s history. 

This forecast aligns with the petroleum ministry’s expectations of a continued rise in fuel demand, projecting a 2.7% growth for the fiscal year 2024-2025. 

Specifically, gasoline consumption is anticipated to climb by 5.4%, while diesel demand is also expected to increase by 2.7%.

Furthermore, analysts project that India will soon eclipse China as the primary driver of global oil demand growth by the decade’s end. 

This shift is underpinned by India’s remarkable economic expansion over the past year, a contrast to the stagnating growth observed in other major economies, including China. 

Factors such as India’s high GDP growth, industrialization, urbanization, and the expansion of its middle class are poised to reposition the nation as the central figure in global oil demand dynamics.

  2. I am very happy to recommend Dr. Wale to everyone that truly needs help to fix his or her broken relationship and marriage. I found Dr. Wale online. I was desperately in need of help to bring my ex Wife back. She left me for another man. It all happened so fast and I had nothing to say in the situation at all. She just left me after 3 years of our marriage without any explanation. I was very worried and could not eat till I went online and found testimonies on Dr. Wale so I decided to contact Dr. Wale through his WhatsApp. I explained everything to him so he could help me cast a love spell to help us get back together. Shortly after he did the spell, my wife started texting and calling me again. She said that she was sorry and said that I was the most important person in her life and she knows that now. you can also contact him now for urgent help.
