Consumption of petroleum products, including petrol, diesel, kerosene, and LPG, has significantly declined following government measures to curb fuel use amid soaring prices. The Nepal Oil Corporation reported drops of up to 80 percent in Baisakh compared to Chait, attributed to a Sunday public holiday and reduced fuel allowances for government officials. While aviation fuel consumption increased, overall demand for most petroleum products saw a notable decrease.
