Abstract

The amount of petroleum products India consumes yearly makes it one of the world's top users. Petrol and diesel are the two principal fuel types utilised as transportation fuels in India. The use of these fuels in India is affected by various factors, including economic growth, the number of vehicles on the road, fuel prices, and policies of the Indian government and the evolving energy and public transportation infrastructure. According to the data that was available in 2021, India's consumption of petrol and diesel fuel has been climbing at a consistent rate over the course of the past several years. During FY 2020-21, the consumption of petrol and diesel in India was 27.6 million metric tonnes and 82.3 million metric tonnes respectively. It is important to note that the end use consumption patterns also change as the energy infrastructure system evolves in the country.
