Inter State Oil Carrier handled 28.34 thousand metric tonnes of volume in August 2026, marking a 15.81% year-on-year increase from the 24.47 thousand MTs recorded in August 2025. The company disclosed this operational update on September 10, 2026, in compliance with SEBI’s Regulation 30 regarding fair disclosure of unpublished price-sensitive information.

The monthly figure represents a 14.43% month-on-month decline from July 2026, when volumes peaked at 33.12 thousand MTs. Management described the year-on-year growth as healthy, attributing it to ongoing transportation operations and existing fleet capacity.

What the Numbers Show

The data reveals a sharp contrast between annual and monthly performance. While the August 2026 volume is significantly higher than the same month last year, it falls short of the immediate prior month. July 2026 recorded the highest volume in the provided twelve-month period at 33.12 thousand MTs. The drop to 28.34 thousand MTs in August suggests seasonal or operational variability following that peak, even as the annual comparison remains positive.
