Fuel Consumption Rises 2.6% to 19.99 Mn Metric Tonnes in June: Oil Ministry

11 Jul 2024 CW Team

According to the latest data released by the Oil Ministry, fuel consumption in India rose by 2.6% in June, totaling 19.99 million metric tonnes. This uptick reflects a gradual recovery in economic activities and transportation demand following easing COVID-19 restrictions across the country. The increase in fuel consumption signals a positive trend in India's energy sector recovery amid ongoing efforts to stabilise economic growth.

The rise in fuel consumption is primarily attributed to higher demand for petrol, diesel, and aviation turbine fuel (ATF). Petrol consumption showed notable growth, driven by increased mobility and consumer activity, while diesel consumption saw steady recovery across industrial and commercial sectors. Aviation fuel consumption also rebounded as domestic travel resumed with improved passenger traffic.

The Oil Ministry's report underscores the resilience of India's energy market and its responsiveness to evolving economic conditions. The government's strategic interventions and policy measures have supported the gradual recovery in fuel demand, contributing to overall economic revitalization. As India continues its path towards recovery, sustained growth in fuel consumption is expected to play a crucial role in driving economic momentum and supporting key sectors dependent on energy inputs.
