The price of petrol and diesel varies from state to state in India depending on freight charges and local taxes (VAT). Additionally, the two motor fuels are subject to an excise tax collected by the central government.

Earlier this month, the Centre declared a Rs 6 per litre export duty on petrol and ATF and a Rs 13 per litre export duty on diesel. In order to offset producers’ windfall profits from high oil prices abroad, it also imposed a cess of Rs 23,250 per tonne (by way of a special additional excise charge) on domestic crude oil being sold to domestic refineries at international parity rates.
