Diesel consumption fell 9 per cent in Delhi in 2024–25 while increasing 5 per cent in Maharashtra and 9 per cent in Chhattisgarh, reflecting divergent trends across states, with economic activity, rains, regulatory curbs, alternative energy supplies and the fading popularity of diesel cars all weighing on sales. Delhi’s diesel consumption has been heavily influenced by a rapid shift away from diesel vehicles to petrol, CNG and electric vehicles over the past decade. Diesel sales in the capital in 2024–25 were down 63 per cent from their peak in 2015.
