There is no change in duties applicable to petrol and diesel sold in the domestic market.
India first introduced windfall taxes on crude oil producers and exports of refined petroleum products in July 2022 and has since revised the rates at regular intervals in line with market conditions.
The increase in export duties comes against the backdrop of escalating tensions in West Asia, where concerns over potential disruptions to crude oil supplies have pushed global energy prices higher.

The rise in crude prices has prompted several countries, including India, to review fuel-related taxes and duties to safeguard domestic energy security and manage the impact of global price fluctuations.
