The Indian government has announced revised export duties on petrol, diesel, and aviation turbine fuel (ATF), effective June 1, 2026. The new export duties are set at ₹1.5 per litre for petrol, ₹13.5 per litre for diesel, and ₹9.5 per litre for ATF. This adjustment is part of the government's strategy to manage domestic fuel prices amid ongoing global energy supply challenges, particularly influenced by the West Asia crisis. The export duties were first introduced in March 2023 to ensure sufficient domestic supply of petroleum products. The Ministry of Finance confirmed that these rates will be assessed on a fortnightly basis based on average international crude oil prices. Notably, there are no changes to the existing excise duties on petrol and diesel for domestic use. As of now, petrol prices in New Delhi are ₹102.12 per litre, with prices in Kolkata and Mumbai being higher at ₹113.47 and ₹111.21 respectively.
