Consumption of lube/grease products was 3,779 thousand tonnes during 2017-18, up by 8.9% versus 3,470 thousand tonnes during 2016-17.

Annual growth of 115 basis points has been seen in consumption of bitumen products from 5,936 thousand tonnes during 2016-17 to 6,004 thousand tonnes during 2017-18.
