India’s fuel consumption fell in November after scaling a seven-month peak last month, government data showed on Thursday, as demand eased in the world’s third biggest oil consumer after festival season.

Fuel consumption, a proxy for oil demand, totalled 17.13 million tonnes, down 4% from October and was 11.4% lower than a year before, data from the oil ministry’s Petroleum Planning and Analysis Cell showed, according to a Reuters report.

Fuel demand rose in October to a seven-month peak, while gasoline sales surged to an all-time high, as festivals boosted mobility and economic activity.
