India\u2019s diesel consumption in September 2025 rose 6.3 % year-on-year<\/strong>, reaching 6,768 thousand metric tonnes (TMT)<\/strong>, as festive season travel and haulage activities spurred demand. This growth underscores the critical role of diesel in powering freight, public transport, and agricultural segments during peak demand periods.<\/p>\n

Cumulative Diesel Demand: Moderate Growth in H1 FY26<\/h2>\n

In the April\u2013September period (first half of FY26), diesel consumption touched 45,667 TMT<\/strong>, up from 44,382 TMT the previous year \u2014 a growth of 2.9 %<\/strong>. While this indicates sustained demand, the growth is more modest compared to petrol\u2019s cumulative gain of 6.7 %. \u00a0This suggests diesel-intensive sectors are inching forward, but not at the same pace as passenger fuel demand.<\/p>\n
