Centre to focus on fuel demand and refining capacity needs

The Central Government has begun a reassessment of the country's future oil demand and refining capacity requirements following the soaring domestic consumption, delays in planned refineries, and amid the predictions of a quick end to the oil age falter, as per reports. The petroleum planning and analysis cell of the oil ministry has been directed to prepare a fresh report on the future fuel demand and refining capacity needs.

So, there is a need to have the capacity to meet the demand that's expected to grow for years to come.
