India's fuel demand dropped 45.8 per cent in April from a year earlier as a nationwide lockdown and travel curbs to prevent the spread of novel coronavirus eroded economic activity. Consumption of fuel, a proxy for oil demand, totalled 9.93 million tonnes — the lowest since 2007 — government data showed on Saturday.
State fuel retailers in India sold 50 per cent less refined fuel in the first two weeks of April than the same time a year earlier as the country came to a standstill due to the lockdown that was put in place on March 24.
