Windfall levies cut on diesel, raised on petrol
In short
India changed windfall levies on fuel. Diesel’s export levy was cut to ₹8.50 per litre from ₹16, while petrol’s levy was raised to ₹2.50 from ₹0.50. The levy on ATF was left unchanged.
This matters for fuel exporters and prices. The reporting does not say why the government made the change or what the next effect will be.
