Govt revises Special Additional Excise Duty on fuel export
The Central Government has revised Special Additional Excise Duty on exports of petrol, diesel, and ATF as part of its fortnightly review. The export levy on petrol has been raised to Rs 1.5 per litre, while diesel duty has been adjusted. This move aims to manage domestic fuel availability and revenue amid global price fluctuations. Such fortnightly revisions are critical for UPSC/SSC economy sections, reflecting government's dynamic fiscal policy on petroleum exports.
