Indian Petroleum and Natural Gas Statistics 1984–85 provides comprehensive statistical coverage of India’s petroleum sector, including natural-gas utilisation, refining capacity and production, petroleum consumption and sales, foreign trade, manpower, and related energy indicators. It presents historical and contemporary data on refining operations, product demand, fuel use, imports, exports, and industry development.

About Dataset

Indian Petroleum and Natural Gas Statistics 1984–85 presents detailed statistical information on India’s petroleum industry, extending coverage from natural-gas utilisation through refining, consumption, foreign trade and manpower. The natural-gas section includes state-wise utilisation on a financial-year basis and industry-wise offtakes, providing information on the distribution and use of domestically produced natural gas. The Refining section documents petroleum-refining capacity as of 1 May 1985, refinery crude throughput and petroleum-product production on calendar- and financial-year bases, refinery-wise crude runs and net petroleum-product production from 1960–61 to 1984–85, trends in domestic petroleum-product production from 1970–71 onward, and refinery production patterns in India. The Consumption/Sales section covers total petroleum-product consumption from 1948/1948–49 through 1984/1984–85, long-term sales and consumption trends, product-wise sales and consumption, seasonal indices, and related market information. It also includes specialised data on petroleum-product use, including lubricants, diesel consumption, naphtha, LSHS/HHS and fuel consumption associated with electricity generation. The Foreign Trade section records crude-oil and petroleum-product imports and exports, product-wise trade, overall and OPEC-related trade balances, foreign-exchange reserves, and POL imports relative to total exports. The Manpower section provides employment statistics and category-wise workforce information for India’s petroleum industry.

Purpose of Dataset

The purpose of Indian Petroleum and Natural Gas Statistics 1984–85 is to provide a consolidated statistical reference for evaluating petroleum-sector operations and trends. It supports analysis of natural-gas utilisation, refinery capacity and throughput, petroleum-product production, sales and consumption, specialised fuel use, foreign trade and petroleum-industry employment. Historical series enable comparison across calendar and financial years, while refinery-wise, state-wise, industry-wise and product-wise information supports detailed sectoral assessment. The publication is useful for understanding changes in petroleum demand, domestic refining and production, trade dependence, fuel utilisation and manpower. It serves as a reference for researchers, policymakers, analysts and institutions studying India’s petroleum industry.
