India’s fuel consumption rose 6.4 per cent in November on back of continued surge in petrol demand even as diesel sales showed signs of tapering. Fuel consumption in November at 14.8 million tonnes was 6.4 per cent higher than 13.9 million tonnes consumed in the same month a year ago, according to latest data available from the petroleum ministry. Diesel, the most consumed fuel in the country, however, saw a tapering in demand growth to 1.5 per cent - rising from just over 6 million tonnes in November 2014 to 6.1 million tonnes this year.
