Export duty on diesel, ATF reduced; petrol increased
The Indian Finance Ministry has adjusted export duties on petroleum products, lowering levies on diesel and aviation turbine fuel while increasing the duty on petrol. The government also expanded the list of countries exempted from these export levies to include Mauritius and Maldives.
Why it matters
These adjustments impact India's hydrocarbon export competitiveness and are part of a broader strategy to manage domestic fuel availability amid global market volatility.
Prompting a potential boost to India’s export of hydrocarbons, the Union Finance Ministry late Tuesday (June 30, 2026) lowered the export levy on diesel to ₹8.5 per litre and aviation turbine fuel (ATF) to ₹7.5 per litre whilst increasing the export levy on petrol ₹4 per litre.
