6月印度的燃料需求进一步回升

据能源世界网7月10日报道，根据印度政府周四公布的数据显示，印度6月份的燃料需求延续了其从4月份触及的13年低点反弹的势头，由于随着印度经济逐渐摆脱为抗击疫情而实施的封锁限制，经济活动出现回升。

根据石油天然气部(Ministry of Petroleum & Natural Gas)石油规划与分析小组(PPAC)的数据显示，6月份代替石油需求的成品油消费量升至1629万吨，较上月增长11%。

然而，与去年同期相比，需求仍下降了7.9％。

由于严格的封锁措施打击了经济活动，4月份燃料需求骤降至994万吨，为2007年以来的最低水平，但此后已回升64%。

占印度总燃料使用量约五分之二的柴油消费，上月较4月的326万吨增加近一倍，至630万吨。

6月份，柴油需求连续第四次下降同比下降15.4%。

汽油销量同比下降13.6%，至228万吨，但较4月份的97万吨增长约134%。

对工业燃料的需求也有所增长，石脑油的销量较去年同期增长了18.2％，达到117万吨，较5月份增长了约8％。

用于修路的沥青的销售额同比增长逾27%，环比增长逾16%。

随着防控措施的放松，全球燃料需求逐渐恢复，主要城市道路交通有所好转。

India's fuel demand recovered further in June

India's fuel demand in June extended its recovery from a 13-year low hit in April, lifted by a pickup in activity as the economy gradually reopens from lockdown restrictions imposed to combat the coronavirus pandemic, government data showed on Thursday.

Consumption of refined fuels, a proxy for oil demand, rose to 16.29 million tonnes in June, 11 per cent above the prior month, data from the Petroleum Planning and Analysis Cell (PPAC) of the Ministry of Petroleum & Natural Gas showed.

However, demand was still down 7.9 per cent compared with the same month a year ago.

Demand for fuel plunged to 9.94 million tonnes in April, its lowest level since 2007 as stringent lockdown measures hammered economic activity, but it has since recovered by 64 per cent.

Diesel consumption, which accounts for about two-fifths of India's overall fuel usage, nearly doubled to 6.30 million tonnes last month from 3.26 million tonnes in April.

On a year-on-year basis, demand for diesel registered its fourth straight decline in June at 15.4 per cent.

Sales of gasoline, or petrol, fell by 13.6 per cent from a year earlier to 2.28 million tonnes, but were about 134 per cent higher than 0.97 million tonnes in April.

Demand for industrial fuels also rose, with naphtha sales rising by 18.2 per cent to 1.17 million tonnes from a year earlier and about 8 per cent from May.

Sales of bitumen, used for making roads, gained over 27 per cent on an annual basis, and more than 16 per cent month-on-month.

As coronavirus lockdown measures ease, global fuel demand has gradually recovered, with road traffic picking up in major cities.
