Centre raises petrol export duty to Rs 2 . 5 / litre , cuts diesel levy to Rs 8 . 5 / litre

The Indian government has adjusted export duties on petroleum products, increasing the levy on petrol to Rs 2.5 per litre while reducing the duty on diesel to Rs 8.5 per litre. These changes represent a recalibration of the nation's windfall tax policy on fuel exports.

The adjustments reflect ongoing government efforts to manage domestic fuel supply and export revenue. By modifying these levies, authorities are balancing the taxation of energy exports in response to shifting market conditions.
