据油气新闻5月12日消息称，周二公布的数据显示，印度4月份燃油消费量较上月下降4%，国内价格上涨拖累了这个全球第三大石油消费国的经济活动。
来自石油部石油规划和分析部门(PPAC)的数据显示，替代石油需求的燃料消费量总计为1864万吨。
这比3月份1941万吨的三年高点略有回落，当时汽油销量达到历史最高水平，原因是市场在预见价格飙升的情况下积累了供应，同时提振了需求。
但自那以来，国内汽油和柴油价格(与这两种燃料的国际价格挂钩，这两种燃料的国际价格跟随原油价格的上涨)一直处于高位，这可能会对消费构成压力。

India’s fuel sales moderate in April, fall 4% m/m
India’s fuel consumption moderated and slipped 4% in April from the previous month, data showed on Tuesday, as elevated domestic prices slowed activity in the world’s third biggest oil consumer.
Consumption of fuel, a proxy for oil demand, totaled 18.64 million tonnes, data from the Petroleum Planning and Analysis Cell (PPAC) of the oil ministry showed
This was a slight retreat from the 19.41 million tonnes in March, a three-year high, when petrol sales hit an all-time peak, as the market accumulated supplies foreseeing price spikes while easing COVID-related curbs boosted demand.
But likely weighing on consumption since then, domestic prices for petrol and diesel, linked to international prices of the two fuels that directionally follow increases in crude oil prices, have remained elevated.
