India September fuel demand: petrol and diesel rise, LPG falls
In short
India’s fuel use in September moved in different directions. Petrol sales rose 7.2% and diesel sales rose 4.9% from a year earlier, while LPG use fell 9%.
This matters because it shows how travel, farming weather and supply problems are changing demand. The reporting does not give the actual fuel volumes or say how long the LPG disruptions may last.
What the reporting says
India’s fuel demand in September showed petrol sales up 7.2% and diesel sales up 4.9% year on year, according to publisher summaries. The reported gains were linked to higher vehicle sales, below-normal monsoon rainfall and stronger economic activity, while aviation turbine fuel was flat and LPG consumption fell 9% because war-related disruptions affected supplies. The reporting does not give the absolute demand volumes.
