This step has been taken in view of the increase in fuel prices over the last three months. “The Indian government has cut the basic excise duty on petrol and diesel (branded and unbranded) by two rupees per liter,” the Finance Ministry said in the information provided by Tevar. This reduction in excise duty will be effective from October 4. Prices of petrol and diesel will be reduced as compared to the excise duty reduction.

In the last three months, prices of petrol and diesel were seen to be tremendous, not only the opposition but also the NDA allies Shiv Sena also targeted the government. Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray had even said that cheaper petrol and diesel than India is being sold in Pakistan. It is believed that the rise in the price of petrol is not only responsible for the rise in crude oil prices, but also the tax imposed by the government on this is also a reason.

Rs. 21.48 Excise Duty in 1 liter Petrol

On petrol, the government currently imposes a total excise duty of Rs 21.48 per liter, while in diesel it is Rs 17.33 per liter. Since year 2014, the central government has increased excise duty on petrol by 126%. At the same time, the duty on diesel has increased by 374 per cent. This is the reason why for some time the prices of crude oil have not been able to meet the common man even after the decline.
