石油圈中国石化新闻网讯 据路透社新德里/孟买2月22日消息，印度国有炼油商的高管们和分析师们表示，今年印度国有炼油商们的炼油利润将表现强劲，因为在印度基础设施开支创930亿美元的历史最高纪录以及原油价格稳定背景下，成品油需求增速加快。 印度的汽车尤其摩托车的销售量预计将快速增长。同时德里至孟买工业走廊的开发将驱动印度主要燃料产品柴油和汽油消费的增长。 印度2018年-2019年财政年度基础设施规划显示将修建超过8万公里的新高速公路以更好地把城市与农村地区连接起来。道路和其他建设活动需要沥青和塑料管等石油基产品，同时这些材料需要用卡车和铁路进行运输，这也将刺激燃料的需求。 印度巴拉特石油公司（BPCL）炼油业务主管R. Ramachandran表示：“这些项目将对燃料需求产生影响，从而导致炼油利润的强劲增长。” 根据BMI研究公司的一份报告显示，2018年印度的年度燃料（主要是柴油和汽油）需求预计增长7.5%。据印度政府公布的数据显示，去年印度的燃料需求增长了5.4%。 Ramachandran表示：“印度强劲的基本面和攀升的需求表明短期内，即至少六个月内，印度炼油商的炼油利润仍将保持强劲。” 唐绍红 摘译自 路透社 原文如下： Indian state oil refiners see strong margins for 2018 India state refiners expect their profit margins to hold their strength this year as demand growth accelerates for fuel products amid a record $93 billion spent on infrastructure and stable crude oil prices, company executives and analysts said. India’s sales of cars and especially motorbikes are forecast to rise rapidly, even as the development of a Delhi-Mumbai industrial corridor drives consumption of the country’s primary fuel products, diesel and gasoline. The infrastructure programme for fiscal 2018/19 calls for more than 80,000 km (50,000 miles) in new highways to better connect rural areas with urban hubs. Roads and other construction require oil-based products such as tar and plastic piping, and fuel to move materials by truck and rail. “They (these projects) will have a cascading effect on fuel demand,” said R. Ramachandran, director of refineries at Bharat Petroleum, adding that this would be reflected directly in strong refining margins. India’s annual fuel demand, made up mainly of diesel and gasoline, is expected to grow 7.5 percent in 2018, according to a report by BMI Research, a unit of Fitch. That compares with 5.4 percent last year, according to government data. “Strong fundamentals and rising demand in India indicate that refining margins will remain strong in the near term, for at least six months,” Ramachandran said.
