Petrol, diesel sales surge in first half of July

Petrol and diesel sales saw significant year-on-year increases in early July. Below-normal monsoon rains boosted demand from farmers and motorists across India. Diesel sales, a key economic indicator, rose over twenty percent compared to last year. Petrol sales also climbed substantially, though they fell from June's levels. Jet fuel sales inched up, while LPG consumption continued its decline.
