AI Summary
Diesel demand more than doubled in six districts and petrol demand rose in fourteen districts in India, attributed to the agricultural season drive and changes in consumption patterns toward retail pumps and state-owned suppliers.
The govt has largely attributed the sudden rise in demand to the onset of the agricultural season, shifting demand from private OMCs to state-owned, and bulk consumers increasingly turning to retail pumps amid a price differential.
