据MRCHUB网站8月9日据烃加工网信息显示，根据印度政府数据显示，由于季风带来降雨限制了这个世界第三大石油进口国和消费国的流动性，印度7月份的燃料消耗量下滑至10个月来的最低点。

作为石油需求指标的石油消费7月份消费总量为1809万吨，较6月份下降6.6%。不过，与去年同期相比增长了2%。

主要用于卡车和商用乘用车的柴油7月销量环比下降约13%，至689万吨。

Kpler首席原油分析师Viktor Katona表示，由于季风的影响，原有燃料消费模式已经放缓，而上月上半月印度北部各邦的洪水又加剧了7月份柴油需求的疲软。

在6月份开始的为期4个月的季风季节，印度的燃料需求通常会下降，因为该国部分地区受到严重洪灾的影响。

Katona表示，交通受限和建筑活动整体放缓是沥青需求降至今年最低水平的关键因素。相信印度的柴油需求将在8月份保持低迷，只有在9到10月份才会反弹。

根据数据显示，7月份汽油销量为299万吨，比上月下降5.3%。用于修路的沥青销售量比6月份下降了30%，而燃料油的使用量在7月份上升了9.6%。液化石油气（LPG）的销售量增长了7%至239万吨，石脑油销售量增长了9.3%至107万吨。

India's fuel demand slips to 10-month low in July

India’s fuel consumption slipped to a 10-month low in July, government data showed, as monsoon rains restricted mobility in the world's third-biggest oil importer and consumer, said Hydrocarbonprocessing.

Total consumption in July, a proxy for oil demand, totaled 18.09 million tons, down 6.6% from June. However, it was up 2% compared with the same period a year earlier.

Sales of diesel, mainly used by trucks and commercially run passenger vehicles dipped about 13% month-on-month to 6.89 million tons in July.

"With consumption patterns already slowing down due to the monsoon, weak July figures for diesel demand were aggravated by the floods in Northern Indian states over the first-half of last month," said Viktor Katona, lead crude analyst at Kpler.

Fuel demand in India typically falls during the four-month monsoon season beginning in June as parts of the country are affected by heavy floods.

"Restricted mobility and an overall slowdown in construction activity have been the key factors behind bitumen demand falling to the lowest reading this year. We believe India's diesel demand will remain subdued in August, only to rebound in September-October," Katona said.

Sales of gasoline in July were 5.3% lower than the previous month at 2.99 million tons. Sales of bitumen, used for making roads, dropped 30% from June, while fuel oil use rose 9.6% in July. Cooking gas, or liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), sales increased about 7% to 2.39 million tons and naphtha sales rose 9.3% to 1.07 million tons, the data showed.
