The government has removed the special additional excise duty on petrol exports while increasing the export levies on diesel and aviation turbine fuel (ATF). The revised rates, effective from October 31, show petrol exports now attract no duty, diesel exports have a duty of Rs 11.5 per litre, and ATF exports have a duty of Rs 11 per litre. This decision follows the government's ongoing fortnightly review of fuel export duties in response to fluctuations in international crude oil and refined product prices. The export duties were initially introduced in March 2026 due to geopolitical tensions in West Asia, aiming to ensure adequate domestic fuel availability.
