China has “effectively eased” its tight diesel market after two top producers increased supply under government coordination, according to a report on Sunday from the nation’s state-run broadcaster CCTV.

China National Petroleum Corp. and China Petroleum & Chemical Corp., better known as Sinopec, have increased diesel output through a number of measures including ramping up processing rates, according to the CCTV report posted on the official Wechat account of National Development and Reform Commission.
