India's Road Fuel Demand to Rise Until 2034 Despite Growing EV Adoption
India's road fuel demand is projected to rise until 2034, reaching over 2.5 million barrels per day, driven by increasing vehicle numbers and commercial transport use. Despite growing electric vehicle adoption, especially in two- and three-wheelers, overall fuel demand will peak before gradually declining as EV uptake expands. Achieving electrification targets will require significant investment, with BloombergNEF estimating $29 billion needed for charging infrastructure by 2040. This trend contrasts with China's expected emissions peak this year, potentially extending global oil demand.
