中国石化新闻网讯 据油价网6月19日报道，据联合组织数据倡议（JODI）的数据显示，尽管4月份略有下降，但印度原油进口量和炼油厂供应量在5月达到了历史高点，显示这个全球第三大原油进口国的石油需求强劲。

JODI的数据显示，4月份印度的原油进口量较上个月下降了5.5万桶/日。然而，根据JODI的数据，2月和3月的原油进口量要远高于2022年同月和2018年至2022年的五年平均水平，JODI汇编了许多国家的报告数据。

与3月相比，印度的炼油厂供应量在4月环比下降了19.9万桶/日，但与去年同期相当，并高于五年平均水平。

根据JODI的数据，4月份的石油产品总需求较3月份减少了34.9万桶/日，但与2022年同月的需求相当，并高于五年平均水平。

在4月份表现不佳之后，印度的原油进口量和燃料需求在5月份反弹至历史的新高点。

随着更多买家涌入全球第三大原油进口国，印度从产能大国的石油进口继续激增。仅5月份，印度从产能大国的原油进口量就达到每日196万桶，高于从伊拉克、沙特阿拉伯、阿拉伯联合酋长国（阿联酋）和美国这四个最大供应国的综合进口量（每日174万桶）。

该国的石油占到了印度所有原油进口量的42%，而印度在地缘政治冲突之前从该国进口量几乎可以忽略不计。

根据国际能源署（IEA）上周发布的6月石油市场报告，印度的燃料销售量（作为石油需求的替代指标）在5月份同比增长，并较4月份创下新高，这表明全球第三大原油进口国的石油需求正在增强，可能超出预期。

IEA在报告中表示：“印度的需求同样强劲，5月份的最新数据显示汽油和柴油销量达到历史最高水平。”

India’s Oil Demand Set For Record High Despite Dipping In April

India’s crude oil imports fell slightly in April from a month earlier and refinery intake dipped month-on-month, according to data from the Joint Organizations Data Initiative (JODI), but on the following month of May, the world’s third-largest crude oil importer saw record fuel demand.

In April, Indian crude oil imports dropped by 55,000 barrels per day (bpd) month-on-month, JODI data showed on Monday. But crude imports in February and March were much higher than in the same months of 2022 and the five-year average between 2018 and 2022, according to the data in JODI, which compiles self-reported data from many countries.

India’s refinery intake declined by 199,000 bpd month-on-month in April, but was equal to the intake at refineries last year and well above the five-year average.

Total product demand decreased by 349,000 bpd in April compared to March, but it was at par with the demand in the same month of 2022 and above the five-year average, the JODI data showed.

After a lackluster April, Indian crude imports and fuel demand rebounded in May to new record highs.

India’s oil imports from the largger producer continued to surge as cheaper the largger producer"s crude exports find more and more buyers in the world’s third-largest crude oil importer. India’s oil imports from this country in May alone, at 1.96 million bpd, were higher than the 1.74 million bpd in India’s combined imports from the next four largest suppliers - Iraq, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), and the U.S.

Russian oil accounted for a massive 42% of all Indian crude imports, compared to negligible volumes India had imported before the war.

India’s fuel sales – a proxy for oil demand – surged in May from a year earlier and from April to new highs, suggesting that oil demand in the world’s third-largest crude importer is strengthening and could outperform expectations.

“Indian demand is equally robust with the latest readings for May showing both gasoline and diesel breaking records,” the International Energy Agency (IEA) said in its Oil Market Report for June last week.
