India's Transport Fuel Demand Dips for Second Month
In July 2025, India used less fuel than the month before.
This is because it rained a lot, which made it harder to travel.
Diesel, petrol, and jet fuel all saw a drop in how much was used.
Experts think that the demand for fuel will keep growing in the coming years.
Diesel consumption dropped 9% month-over-month in July 2025.
Petrol consumption decreased 0.8% month-over-month in July 2025.
Jet fuel (ATF) consumption declined 3.4% month-over-month in July 2025.
The decreases are attributed to the monsoon season affecting transport.
Overall, demand for refined petroleum products is predicted to increase.
