India’s Diesel Demand Surge In November Signals Strong Transport Sector Rebound
Diesel, India’s most used fuel, saw sales rise 4.7 per cent year‑on‑year to 8.55 million tonnes in November, the strongest monthly performance since May 2025. Consumption was 13.6 per cent higher than in November 2023, underlining how sharply transport demand has bounced back after the monsoon‑driven lull.
Industry data show diesel retains roughly 40 per cent share of India’s petroleum consumption basket, with transport accounting for about 70 per cent of diesel use in the country. That makes November’s jump a strong proxy for bus, truck and commercial vehicle activity across highways and industrial corridors, despite a broader slowdown in annual diesel demand growth this fiscal.
