工业化正推动印度石油需求强劲增长

据道琼斯6月7日消息，伯恩斯坦研究公司表示，工业化或是印度石油需求强劲增长的主要动力，沥青和柴油等馏分油产品占据印度石油需求增长的逾50%。展望未来，制造业和道路基础设施建设的增长将令印度石油需求保持上升趋势。伯恩斯坦研究公司还表示，印度人均GDP的增加将刺激汽车消费和航空客运量的增长。此外，虽然石油产品的补贴已经取消，但是价格也已经下降。伯恩斯坦研究表示，未来25年，中国仍将是推动全球石油需求增长最为重要的国家，但是到2040年，印度或将成为全球石油需求增长的最大贡献国，其石油需求预计将增加600万桶/天。

Industrialization Driving India's Booming Oil Demand

[Dow Jones] Industrialization is likely to be the main driver behind India's surging demand for oil, says Bernstein Research, noting distillate products such as bitumen and asphalt as well as diesel account for over 50% of the demand growth. Looking forward, increase in manufacturing and construction of transportation infrastructures will keep India's oil demand elevated. The firm also notes an increase in per capita GDP will fuel growth in automobile consumption and air passenger traffic. Moreover, although subsidies were removed for petroleum products, prices have declined. The firm says over the coming 25 years, China will remain the most important country for oil demand growth, but by 2040, India will likely be the largest contributor to global growth, with demand expected to increase by 6 million barrels a day.
