India’s Petroleum Product Exports Seen Softening in October-December as Domestic Demand Tightens Supply
India’s petroleum product exports are likely to ease in the October-December 2026 quarter as robust domestic diesel consumption and steady industrial activity absorb a larger share of refinery output. The expected moderation underscores how internal fuel demand can constrain export availability even when refining capacity remains strong. Market participants are watching whether the seasonal rise in domestic transport, logistics and manufacturing demand will leave less surplus for overseas buyers, particularly in diesel-linked markets across Asia and Africa.
