India's Petroleum Export Earnings Rise Nearly 50% Despite Lower Shipment Volumes
India's petroleum product export earnings rose nearly 50% in rupee terms to ₹2.59 lakh crore during April-September, despite a 16% decline in shipment volume. This increase was driven by higher international fuel prices and a weaker rupee, with diesel exports contributing significantly amid supply disruptions and tighter market conditions. Petrol exports also saw earnings growth despite lower volumes. Domestic consumption remained strong, limiting export volumes as production stagnated, according to petroleum ministry data and industry sources.
