Diesel Demand Growth Falls to Lowest Since Covid

Hindustan Times Pune

April 15, 2025

Growth in demand for diesel, India's most consumed petroleum product, fell to its lowest since the pandemic in the financial year ended March 31 as the economy expands at a slower pace and consumption shifts to cleaner fuels.

- Press Trust of India

NEW DELHI:

Diesel consumption rose 2% to 91.4 million tonnes in 2024-25 (April 2024 to March 2025) fiscal, according to provisional data released by the Petroleum Planning and Analysis Cell (PPAC) of the Oil Ministry.

The growth in demand for diesel, which is used to power trucks and farm machinery, in 2024-25 was slower than 4.3% in the previous fiscal and 12.1% in 2022-23.

Diesel accounts for about 40% of oil used in India. Softness in demand growth mirrors economic activity in the country.

But more than the economy, it is Electric Vehicles (EVs) which are starting to reshape diesel demand in India.

Patel at 150: A life in service of the nation

When India gained independence on August 15, 1947, the British left behind a fractured subcontinent that included more than 560 princely states. Without geographical unity, its hard-won freedom would have been hollow. With vision, determination, and an unyielding will, Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, India’s first deputy prime minister and home minister, forged these scattered principalities into a single nation, giving independent India its shape and strength. However, the efforts of this great unifier did not receive the recognition he deserved.
