汽油消费强劲增长刺激印度石油需求

据道琼斯4月15日消息，沙特Jadwa投资公司称，全球最大新兴经济体之一的印度的石油需求正在飙升，事实上是受益于低油价。Jadwa在一份报告中称，今年一季度，印度原油进口量同比增长7%达到约400万桶/天。汽油消费的增长被认为是石油需求飙升的一个主要因素，同时来自于石化生产商的工业需求强劲增长也是其中一个因素。印度近来已经超过日本成为全球第三大石油进口国，石油生产国当前正在争夺印度石油市场的份额。

Indian Oil Demand Driven By Gasoline Growth

Indian oil demand is soaring thanks to low prices acting as a de facto stimulus to one of the world's largest emerging economies, according to the Saudi Arabia-based Jadwa Investment. In a note, Jadwa says that crude imports were up 7% year-on-year in the first quarter of 2016, averaging about 4 million barrels a day. The growth in gasoline consumption is cited as the key driver of the growth as well as strong industrial demand from petrochemicals producers. India has recently overtaken Japan as the world's third largest oil importer and producers are now vying to increase respective shares in such a growing market.
