The industry sold 3.38 lakh units in April 2023, a slight increase from the 3.32 lakh units sold in the same month last year.
Consumption of petrol and diesel rose in September due to increased vehicle sales and expanding economic activity, according to sales data. Private retailers are regaining market share, leading to a decline in diesel sales for state companies. Jet fuel sales showed increased air traffic, and cooking gas consumption also rose. The monsoon months typically see a decline in diesel consumption due to rains affecting demand in the agriculture sector and slowing vehicular movements.
