About This Dataset
The data provides consumption figures for different products, such as Petrol and Diesel, on a monthly basis. It is a valuable resource for analyzing consumption patterns, demand forecasting, and economic studies.
Data Quality
The dataset is highly consistent with 492 records and zero missing values. Financial/quantity figures are precise to two decimal places. The time series covers partial 2020 through August 2023.
Use Cases
Forecasting national fuel demand, analyzing seasonal variations in transport fuel (MS/HSD), monitoring industrial energy trends using Naphtha and FO data, and economic modeling of energy consumption versus GDP growth.
Limitations
The dataset only covers 8 months for 2023 and 9 months for 2020. It represents national aggregate consumption and does not provide state-level breakdowns.
Methodology
Data is compiled by the Petroleum Planning & Analysis Cell (PPAC) based on sales figures and returns filed by oil marketing companies (OMCs) and private players in the Indian hydrocarbon market.
