India's bunkering activity has surged by 64% in 2024, reflecting a significant rise in maritime fuel demand due to global shipping disruptions. This dramatic increase underscores India's growing role in the international maritime fuel market.

The rise in bunkering is expected to positively impact India?s economy, with potential boosts in port revenues and further investments in maritime infrastructure.

Overall, India's significant increase in bunkering activity not only reflects its vital role in the global shipping industry but also signals a robust response to the evolving dynamics of global maritime fuel demands.
