Diesel sales fall 20% in early June as demand falls amid high prices
India’s diesel sales fell 19.7% to 762 thousand tonnes in the first six days of June, compared with the previous year, signalling reduced demand due to soaring retail prices of the fuel.
Diesel sales in May had inched up 1.4% year-on-year to 4.9 million tonnes (MT). These are the sales figures of state-run oil marketing companies (OMCs) which comprise about 90% of the total supply in the country.
