Petrol and Diesel Sales Rise in September; LPG Sales Fall 9%

Higher vehicle sales helped push up petrol demand. Diesel use also increased as below-normal monsoon rainfall led to greater demand for irrigation, while economic activity supported diesel use for transport. 

Petrol and Diesel Demand Goes Up 

Petrol sales rose 7.2% from a year earlier in September, helped by higher vehicle sales. 

Diesel sales increased 4.9%. Apart from irrigation needs, higher economic activity also added to diesel demand for mobility.

Sales of aviation turbine fuel (ATF) remained flat in September. The unchanged ATF sales are linked to subdued growth in air traffic during the month.
