New Delhi: India’s indigenous crude oil and condensate production stood at 2.4 million metric tonnes (MMT) in July 2025, registering a 0.7 per cent decline compared to the same month last year, according to the Petroleum Planning and Analysis Cell (PPAC).
Data showed that 75.3 per cent of the output came from nomination fields, 13.8 per cent from pre-NELP fields and 10.8 per cent from NELP fields.
Total crude oil processed during the month was 23.3 MMT, 3.2 per cent higher than July 2024. Of this, public sector and joint venture refiners processed 15.8 MMT and private refiners 7.5 MMT. Refineries processed 2.4 MMT of domestic crude and 20.9 MMT of imported crude. On a cumulative basis, crude processed in April–July of the current fiscal year grew 1.4 per cent year-on-year, PPAC said.
Production of petroleum products fell 1.4 per cent in July to 24 MMT, with 23.7 MMT from refineries and 0.3 MMT from fractionators. In the April–July period, product output was down 0.4 per cent from a year ago. Diesel accounted for 43.5 per cent of total output, followed by motor spirit at 17.2 per cent, naphtha at 7.1 per cent, aviation turbine fuel at 5.9 per cent, petcoke at 5.1 per cent and LPG at 4.7 per cent.
Crude oil imports fell 4.3 per cent in July and 0.6 per cent in April–July compared to last year. POL product imports declined 12.7 per cent in July and 1.5 per cent during the four-month period, largely due to lower imports of fuel oil and petcoke.
Exports of petroleum products also declined 2 per cent in July and 0.4 per cent in April–July, mainly on account of reduced shipments of aviation turbine fuel and petcoke/CBFS, PPAC added.
