In response to the ongoing crisis in West Asia, the Indian Central Government has revised export taxes on petrol, diesel, and aviation turbine fuel (ATF), effective June 1, 2026. The updated rates include ₹1.5 per litre for petrol, ₹13.5 for diesel, and ₹9.5 for ATF, with the Special Additional Excise Duty (SAED) being the only charge applied, while the Road and Infrastructure Cess (RIC) remains at zero. These export duties were first introduced on March 27, 2026, to discourage excessive exports and ensure sufficient domestic supply. The government reviews these taxes every two weeks, adjusting them based on international crude oil prices and market conditions. Notably, domestic excise duties on fuels sold within India will not change, maintaining stability for local consumers. This approach aims to balance the interests of fuel exporters with the necessity of adequate domestic availability during challenging global circumstances.
