???? 據經濟時報2月20日消息：由于工業和經濟活動逐步增加，燃料需求有所改善，印度1月原油加工業務連續第二個月同比增長，同時觸及一年多以來的高點。

????政府臨時數據顯示，1月原油吞吐量同比增長0.6%，至516萬桶/天(2181萬噸)，為2019年11月以來的最高水平。環比增長3.8%。

????一項私人調查顯示，在需求和產出持續復蘇的推動下，印度的工廠活動在1月達到了三個月來的最大增速。

????然而，全球油價上漲對需求的逐步復蘇構成了障礙。

????政府數據顯示，1月印度煉油廠的平均產能為102.8%，略高于去年同期的102.6%，也高于去年12月份的99.1%。

????通過技術改造，煉油廠可以以高于正常產能的速度運行。

????數據顯示，印度最大的煉油商印度石油公司(IOC)上月以106.1%的產能運營其直屬工廠。

????擁有全球最大煉油設施的信實集團1月以96.1%的產能運營其工廠。

????國際能源署(IEA)本月早些時候表示，印度將是未來20年能源需求增長的主要驅動力，并將在2030年超過歐盟成為世界第三大能源消費國。

????數據顯示，該國原油年產量同比下降4.6%，至257萬噸(61萬桶/天)，而天然氣產量下降2.2%，至25.5億立方米。

????India's January crude processing scales over 1-year peak

????India's crude oil processing registered its second straight year-on-year gain in January, while hitting a more than one-year high, as fuel demand improved on the back of a gradual increase in industrial and economic activity.

????Crude oil throughput in January rose 0.6% year on year to 5.16 million barrels per day (21.81 million tonnes), the highest since November 2019, provisional government data showed on Friday.

????Throughput was also up 3.8% from the previous month.

????India's factory activity expanded at its strongest pace in three months in January, fuelled by a continued recovery in demand and output, according to a private survey.

????However, an uptick in global oil prices posed a roadblock to the gradual recovery in demand.

????Indian refiners operated at an average rate of 102.8% in January, slightly up from 102.6% in the same month last year and above December's 99.1%, the government data showed.

????Refineries can operate at more than their usual capacity through technical alterations.

????The country's largest refiner, Indian Oil Corp (IOC) , last month operated its directly owned plants at 106.1% capacity, the data showed.

????Reliance, owner of the world's biggest refining complex, operated its plants at 96.1% capacity in January.

????India will be the main driver of rising demand for energy over the next two decades and is set to overtake the European Union as the world's third-biggest energy consumer by 2030, the International Energy Agency (IEA) said earlier this month.

????On an annual basis, the country's crude oil production fell by 4.6% to 2.57 million tonnes (610,000 barrels per day), while natural gas output fell 2.2% to 2.55 billion cubic metres, the data showed.
