India Petrol Station Market Trends
The Private Owned Segment is Expected to be the Fastest-Growing Market
- The private-owned segment is expected to witness significant growth during the forecast period due to rising fuel demand and the liberalization of fuel retailing in India.
- Looking at the future potential, various global players are interested in entering the Indian fuel retail segment. As of 1st May 2022, Reliance Industries Limited has 1,459 fuel stations, Nayara Energy (formerly Essar Oil) has 6,604, Royal Dutch Shell has 324 outlets, and other companies have 34 outlets. This, in turn, replicates the growth in the Indian fuel station market.
- In June 2022, The government of India announced the implementation of Universal Service Obligation (USO) for all retail outlets. As per the rule, petrol pumps cannot stop selling petrol and diesel. This rule is also applicable to petrol pumps in remote areas. The government has made it clear that whoever does not follow these rules will get their license canceled.
- Moreover, according to the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas, during the FY2021-2022 (as of 9th April 2022), Indian gasoline consumption rose to 30.85 million metric tonnes (MMT), showing a growth of 13% compared to the previous year, and the diesel has reached 76.69 MMT with a 5% rise from FY2020-21. The Government of India is relaxing restrictions on the sale of gasoline and aviation fuel and encouraging private players like British Petroleum, TotalEnergies, and Trafigura in India. This is likely to make the companies in the private-owned segment dominate the market during the forecast period.
- Hence, with the increase in demand for fuel and the growing interest of the private players in the Indian fuel station sector, the private-owned segment is expected to grow significantly during the forecast period.
