India hikes export duties on petrol diesel and ATF while keeping domestic fuel taxes unchanged

India hikes export duties on petrol diesel and ATF while keeping domestic fuel taxes unchanged

India’s Finance Ministry has raised the Special Additional Excise Duty on exported petrol, diesel, and Aviation Turbine Fuel, effective May 16. The SAED rates will be Rs 3 per litre for petrol, Rs 16.50 per litre for diesel, and Rs 16 per litre for ATF. Crucially, domestic excise duties are left unchanged, and the Road and Infrastructure Cess on these products is reduced to nil. Officials say the targeted export-focused change aims to boost revenue without moving retail pump prices.
