India’s indigenous crude oil production saw a 2.6% decline in November 2025, with nomination fields contributing the largest share. New Delhi: India’s indigenous crude oil and condensate production stood at 2.3 million metric tonnes (MMT) in November 2025, with 76 per cent coming from nomination fields, 13.4 per cent from pre-NELP fields and 10.4 per cent from NELP fields, according to data released by the Petroleum Planning and Analysis Cell (PPAC). Production during the month registered a 2.6 per cent decline compared with the corresponding period of the previous year, PPAC said.
Total crude oil processed during November 2025 rose to 22.3 MMT, marking a 2.3 per cent increase over November 2024. Of this, PSU and joint venture refiners processed 15.1 MMT, while private refiners processed 7.3 MMT. Total indigenous crude oil processed during the month was 2.1 MMT, while imported crude oil processed stood at 20.2 MMT across all Indian refineries.
PPAC said total crude oil processed during April–November of the current financial year grew 2.1 per cent compared with the same period of the previous year.
Production of petroleum products during November 2025 was 23.3 MMT, marginally 0.2 per cent lower than November 2024. Of this, 23 MMT came from refinery production and 0.3 MMT from fractionators. PPAC said petroleum product output during April–November FY26 recorded a growth of 0.5 per cent compared with the same period of FY25.
In November 2025, the product-wise share of total POL production showed high-speed diesel at 41.5 per cent, motor spirit at 18.1 per cent, naphtha at 6.3 per cent, aviation turbine fuel at 5.8 per cent, petcoke at 5.4 per cent, LPG at 4.4 per cent, with the remaining share accounted for by bitumen, FO/LSHS, LDO, lubes and other products, PPAC said.
Crude oil imports increased by 11.1 per cent in November 2025 and by 2.4 per cent during April–November FY26 compared with the corresponding period of the previous year, PPAC said.
At the same time, imports of petroleum products declined by 8.6 per cent in November 2025 and by 0.6 per cent during April–November FY26. PPAC said the reduction in product imports during the cumulative period was mainly due to lower imports of fuel oil, motor spirit and petcoke.
Exports of petroleum products fell by 1.7 per cent in November 2025, while exports during April–November FY26 increased by 0.4 per cent compared with the corresponding period of the previous year. The cumulative increase was driven mainly by higher exports of motor spirit, high-speed diesel and naphtha, PPAC said.
