‘India to a/c for half of oil demand growth’

India will account for about half of global oil demand growth and 15% of increase in global electricity consumption over next decade, making it one of the world’s most important energy markets, Igor Sechin, chief executive of Russian oil producer Rosneft, said. Sechin said India’s oil consumption is expected to rise 44% to nearly 8 million barrels per day by 2035.
