India has lowered export duties on petrol, diesel, and aviation turbine fuel (ATF) starting August 15, according to a government announcement. The reduction comes after an earlier increase in levies earlier in the month. Petrol export duties have been eliminated, reducing from Rs 3.5 per litre to nil. Diesel export duties have been decreased to Rs 24 per litre from Rs 25.5, while ATF export duties have been cut to Rs 19.5 per litre from Rs 22.
These revisions apply only to petroleum products cleared for export and are reviewed every two weeks. The current framework was introduced in March 2026 amid rising international crude and refined fuel prices due to the West Asia conflict.
