據(jù)5月10日MENAFN消息：印度石油和天然氣部門(mén)的規(guī)劃分析小組公布的數(shù)據(jù)顯示，由于疫情封鎖的原因，導(dǎo)致該國(guó)石油產(chǎn)品需求暴跌。

今年4月，印度的燃料消耗量下降了45.8%，僅為993萬(wàn)噸，而2019年4月的消耗量為1832萬(wàn)噸。

根據(jù)政府的數(shù)據(jù)，今年3月的燃料消耗量為1608萬(wàn)噸。官員們統(tǒng)計(jì)，該國(guó)4月使用的12種燃料都有所下降。

燃料需求驟降主要是從3月最后一周開(kāi)始，原因是國(guó)家實(shí)施了封鎖，致使大部分經(jīng)濟(jì)活動(dòng)暫停。
