據烴加工2021年7月23日新德里報道，印度煉油商6月份的原油加工量與5月份相比變化不大。此前，由于第二波嚴重的冠狀病毒疫情抑制了需求，迫使印度煉油企業減少了開工率，印度煉油企業6月份的原油加工量曾跌至數月低點。

　　7月23日公布的臨時政府數據顯示，6月份印度煉油企業日均加工原油450萬桶。 相比之下，5月份的原油日加工量為449萬桶，為2020年10月以來的最低水平。

　　來自貿易方面的數據顯示，6月份印度原油進口也降至9個月來的低點，由于低消費和前兩個月再度封鎖導致燃料庫存增加，煉油企業削減了原油采購量。

　　6月份印度煉油企業的原油加工量仍比去年6月份的水平高出了4.7%。

　　全球第三大石油進口國和消費國印度的燃料需求在5月份跌至9個月低點以后，在6月份也小幅上升，因為印度許多邦開始放寬限制，出行人數增加。

　　上周的初步行業數據顯示，7月份頭兩周，印度國有燃料零售商的汽油銷售也超過新冠肺炎疫情爆發前的水平。

　　India refiners' June crude processing bridled by virus curbs

　　Indian refiners' crude throughput in June was little changed from the previous month when it fell to multi-month lows as a severe second wave of coronavirus restrained demand, forcing refiners to reduce runs.

　　Refiners processed 4.50 million barrels per day (18.4 million tonnes) of crude oil in June, provisional government data showed on Friday. This compares with 4.49 million barrels per day (bpd) processed in May, which was the lowest since October 2020.

　　Crude oil imports also fell to a 9-month low in June as refiners curtailed purchases amid higher fuel inventories due to low consumption and renewed lockdowns in the previous two months, data obtained from trade sources showed.

　　Refineries' crude oil throughput last month was still 4.7% higher than June 2020 levels.

　　India's fuel demand also inched higher after slumping to a nine-month low in May as many states in the world's third-biggest oil importer and consumer started easing restrictions and mobility picked up.

　　Indian state fuel retailers' gasoline sales also exceeded pre-pandemic levels in the first fortnight of July, preliminary industry data showed last week.
