印度燃料消耗下降18％恒温阀

据经济时报4月9日新德里报道：印度3月份的燃料消耗下降了18%，是10多年来最大的降幅，因为全国范围的封锁导致经济活动和旅行停止。

周四发布的官方数据显示，由于柴油、汽油和航空涡轮燃料(ATF)需求下降，印度3月份的石油产品消费量下降17.79%，至1608万吨。

柴油是该国最消耗的燃料，需求减少了24.23％，至565万吨。这是该国有记录以来柴油消耗量下降幅度最大的一次，因为大多数货车中止行驶，铁路也停止了运行。汽油销量下降16.37％，至215万吨，原因是为防止疫情扩散而实施的为期2复丝滤布1天的全国封锁令大多数汽车无法上路。

India's fuel consumption falls 18%

NEW DELHI: India's fuel consumption in March shrank by 18 per cent, the biggest decline in more than a d活节螺丝ecade, as a nationwide lockdown halted economic activity and travel.

India's petroleum product consumption fell 17.79 per cent to 16.08 million tonnes in March as diesel, petrol and aviation turbine fuel (ATF) demand fell, according to official data released on Thursday.

Diesel, the most consumed fuel in the country, saw demand contract by 24.23 percent to 5.65 million tonnes. This is the biggest fall in diesel consumption the country has recorded as most trucks went off-road and railways stopped plying trains. Petrol sales dropped 16.37 percent to 2.15 million tonnes as the 21-day nationwide lockdown enforced to prevent the spread of COVID-19 took most cars and two-wheelers off the road.
