Petrol sales shake off monsoon blues in September but diesel still underwater

India's diesel consumption decreased by 3% in September compared to the previous year, due to the fading monsoon, while petrol sales increased by 5.4% due to record car sales. However, both diesel and petrol sales saw growth compared to August, indicating a potential rebound in demand. Jet fuel sales increased by 9.5% from the previous year, while LPG consumption rose by 6%. Oil company executives expect a sharp increase in demand as construction activities resume and the festive season begins.
