May petrol sales in fast lane as summer travel peaks, diesel & ATF go off the boil, LPG on fire

Preliminary data revealed a surge in petrol consumption by 10% in early May, driven by increased summer travel, reaching 1.5 million tonnes. Diesel sales saw a modest 2% rise, signaling recovery with 3.36 million tonnes consumed. LPG consumption also experienced robust growth, fueled by Ujjwala connections, while aviation fuel growth slowed due to flight restrictions.
