The Government made revisions to windfall taxes on gains produced by domestic refineries and oil producers, along with export levies on diesel and jet fuel, starting Oct 2, in line with easing prices in international markets.
The windfall profit cess on domestically produced crude oil has been cut from Rs 10,500/tonne to Rs 8,000/tonne, while a Rs 5/litre export levy on jet fuel has been slashed by the Government. The export duty on diesel has been halved from Rs 10/L to Rs 5.
