India’s relationship with petroleum products is seeing some noteworthy shifts. In the latest report rolled out by the Planning & Analysis Cell (PPAC), data from April to September 2023 showcases some interesting ups and downs in consumption patterns.

Taking center stage, LPG has emerged as a dominant fuel with its consumption touching 2551 thousand metric tonne in September alone. This spike underscores the increasing dependency of households and industries on this clean fuel.

Contrastingly, the High-Speed Diesel (HSD) charts tell a different tale. A noticeable dip from 8217 thousand metric tonnes in May to 6493 thousand metric tonne in September raises questions about possible shifts in transport and industrial dynamics.

But it’s not just the household fuels that are making headlines. The Aviation Turbine Fuel (ATF) numbers have soared with an 11% YoY growth. This jump might hint at the resurgence of the aviation sector, potentially signaling recovering travel trends post-pandemic slowdowns.
