 "Fuel, petrol, diesel")
NEW DELHI (Reuters) - Indian state retailers' gasoline and gasoil sales in March rose by 27.4% and 28.6%, respectively, from the low base of last year, when a nationwide lockdown to stem the spread of the coronavirus hit consumption, preliminary industry data showed.
State companies - Indian Oil Corp, Hindustan Petroleum Corp and Bharat Petroleum - own about 90% of India's retail fuel outlets.
The three companies sold 2.47 million tonnes of gasoline and 6.41 million tonnes of gasoil last month, the data showed.
