据安迅思能源4月22日消息称，据路透社报道，实时政府数据显示，3月份印度炼油商的原油加工量同比增长6.4%，达到528万桶/天(2234万吨)，与世界第三大石油进口国和消费国的消费量增长相一致。

印度3月份的燃料需求达到了3年来的最高水平，原因是市场预计价格会大幅上涨，积累了供应，而疫情相关控制措施的放松刺激了需求。

Refinitiv分析师Ehsan Ul Haq表示，随着需求增加，炼油商不得不提高产量以满足需求。

然而，数据显示，原油产量下降超过3%，至约59.8万桶/天(253万吨)。

该新闻稿称，这主要是由于位于孟买高地的Sagar Samrat移动式海上生产装置的调动延迟，导致本月石油和天然气公司的产量下降了12.6%，较2021年3月下降了1.84%。

油船跟踪数据显示，3月原油进口量较上年同期微升至440万桶/天。

Indian refiners' March crude oil processing up by 6.4% YOY

Crude oil processing by Indian refiners rose 6.4% year-on-year in March to 5.28 MMbpd (22.34 MMt), provisional government data showed, corresponding with a rise in consumption in the world's third biggest oil importer and consumer, reported Reuters.

India's fuel demand rose to a three-year high in March as the market accumulated supplies foreseeing price spikes while easing COVID-related curbs boosted demand.

With demand increasing, refiners are prompted to boost runs to meet demand, said Ehsan Ul Haq, an analyst from Refinitiv.

However, crude production fell over 3% to about 598,000 bpd (2.53 MMt), the data showed.

This was largely due to output from Oil and Natural Gas Corporation being 12.6% lower for the month and 1.84% lower versus March 2021 due to a delay in mobilization of the Mobile Offshore Production Unit Sagar Samrat, located in the Mumbai High Field, the release stated.

Annual oil imports in March marginally rose to 4.4 MMbpd from last year, tanker tracking data from industry sources showed.
