    According to a report from the ICIS-MRC website in Moscow on May 28, the rapid increase in cases of the new crown epidemic in India has led to various travel restrictions and reduced the consumption of transportation fuels such as gasoline and diesel.


    According to EIA estimates, between March and April, India’s daily oil consumption fell by 400,000 barrels, or 8%, to 4.


    After the release of STEO in May, India's oil consumption data showed a drop of 300,000 barrels per day (6%) compared with the same period.


    According to data from the Petroleum Planning and Analysis Group (PPAC) of the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas of India, the consumption of gasoline and diesel in September last year returned to pre-epidemic levels and continued until March 2021.


    According to real-time liquidity indicators, by mid-May, the number of tourists in India has fallen even more.


    Similarly, according to Google’s data, in mid-May 2021, the percentage of time spent at home increased by 25% compared to the base period.
