The demand in October has been better than the previous months, says MK Surana, CMD of HPCL. “In the first 20 days of the October both petrol and diesel demand is more than what it was in the first 20 days of October 2019. Petrol demand has already picked up, but the pickup in diesel demand is a very good sign. It is also contributed by festive season at the end of the monsoon season.”

He further added, “The general demand of the products are picking up, aviation is yet to pick up because still all the flights are not on and the international flights are yet to take place. Overall product demand is positive as far as petrol and diesel are concerned in the month of October.”
