據(jù)油氣新聞5月12日消息稱，周二公布的數(shù)據(jù)顯示，印度4月份燃油消費(fèi)量較上月下降4%，國(guó)內(nèi)價(jià)格上漲拖累了這個(gè)全球第三大石油消費(fèi)國(guó)的經(jīng)濟(jì)活動(dòng)。

來(lái)自石油部石油規(guī)劃和分析部門(mén)(PPAC)的數(shù)據(jù)顯示，替代石油需求的燃料消費(fèi)量總計(jì)為1864萬(wàn)噸。

這比3月份1941萬(wàn)噸的三年高點(diǎn)略有回落，當(dāng)時(shí)汽油銷(xiāo)量達(dá)到歷史最高水平，原因是市場(chǎng)在預(yù)見(jiàn)價(jià)格飆升的情況下積累了供應(yīng)，同時(shí)提振了需求。

但自那以來(lái)，國(guó)內(nèi)汽油和柴油價(jià)格(與這兩種燃料的國(guó)際價(jià)格掛鉤，這兩種燃料的國(guó)際價(jià)格跟隨原油價(jià)格的上漲)一直處于高位，這可能會(huì)對(duì)消費(fèi)構(gòu)成壓力。

India’s fuel sales moderate in April, fall 4% m/m

India’s fuel consumption moderated and slipped 4% in April from the previous month, data showed on Tuesday, as elevated domestic prices slowed activity in the world’s third biggest oil consumer.

Consumption of fuel, a proxy for oil demand, totaled 18.64 million tonnes, data from the Petroleum Planning and Analysis Cell (PPAC) of the oil ministry showed

This was a slight retreat from the 19.41 million tonnes in March, a three-year high, when petrol sales hit an all-time peak, as the market accumulated supplies foreseeing price spikes while easing COVID-related curbs boosted demand.

But likely weighing on consumption since then, domestic prices for petrol and diesel, linked to international prices of the two fuels that directionally follow increases in crude oil prices, have remained elevated.
