The Indian government has significantly reduced the export duty (windfall tax) on petrol, diesel, and aviation turbine fuel (ATF). The export duty on petrol has been slashed to zero from Rs 3.5 per liter. Diesel tax is reduced to Rs 24, and ATF tax to Rs 19.5 per liter. This move aims to help oil refining companies maintain margins amid global price fluctuations. However, this tax cut applies only to international exports and will not directly result in cheaper fuel prices at domestic retail petrol pumps for the general public. https://kannada.news18.com/photogallery/business/petrol-diesel-export-duty-cut-government-takes-important-decision-ssr-ws-bl-2470928.html
