India's Fuel Consumption Sees 2.6% Growth in June

23 Jul 2024 CW Team

India's fuel consumption rose by 2.6% in June, driven primarily by a surge in demand for aviation turbine fuel (ATF) and petrol. This growth reflects the ongoing recovery in the country's economic activities and an increase in transportation needs.

The aviation sector saw a notable uptick in ATF consumption, indicating a rebound in air travel as restrictions ease and passenger numbers rise. Similarly, petrol usage surged, pointing to increased mobility and consumer confidence in the economy.

The rise in fuel consumption is seen as a positive indicator of economic recovery, with more robust transportation and industrial activities. It also highlights the gradual normalization of demand patterns following the disruptions caused by the pandemic.

This growth in fuel consumption is expected to impact the oil and gas industry, influencing supply chain dynamics and pricing strategies. As India continues to recover economically, sustained increases in fuel demand may prompt adjustments in energy policies and infrastructure investments to meet the growing needs.
