How has monsoon impacted the sale of petrol and diesel in India
Explore the impact of monsoon season on the consumption of petrol and diesel in India.
- The demand for petrol usually decreases during the monsoon season as people tend to travel less due to heavy rains. This leads to a lower consumption of fuel in vehicles.
- However, the demand for diesel usually increases during this period as farmers require diesel-powered irrigation pumps for their fields. This leads to higher consumption of diesel.
- Heavy rainfall can also affect the transportation of oil products, leading to disruptions in supply and higher prices for consumers.
- During the monsoon season, road conditions may deteriorate, leading to higher fuel consumption for vehicles as they struggle through potholes and rough terrain.
- In coastal regions, fishing boats require diesel for their operations, and the monsoon season can affect the availability of fish and thus impact the demand for diesel.
