India revises export-related windfall taxes on petroleum products, cutting duty rates for petrol, diesel and ATF. The changes reduce the export levy on petrol to ₹0.5 per litre from ₹1.5, and reduce the export duty on diesel to ₹20 per litre from ₹25. The export duty rate cuts also apply to ATF, according to Finance Ministry notifications.
The Hindu and NDTV both report the government is lowering these specific per-litre export duty amounts. NDTV adds that the revised rates take effect from September 16 and notes they are based on Finance Ministry notifications. The two reports align on the direction of the policy shift—lowering export duties—while the outlets differ mainly in the level of procedural detail provided, with NDTV specifying the effective date and official notification basis.
Overall, the reporting indicates a targeted adjustment to the export windfall tax framework for selected fuel products, with the revised per-litre rates becoming effective on the notified date.
