Earlier, amid the fall in the prices of crude oil in the international market, the government increased the excise duty on petrol and diesel by Rs 2 per liter. This information was given in an official order. According to this, the excise duty on petrol has been increased by Rs 13 per liter and on diesel by Rs 10 per liter. However, this order does not state what kind of impact the increase in excise duty will have on the retail prices of petrol and diesel.
Meanwhile, industry sources said retail prices of petrol and diesel are unlikely to change despite the increase in excise duty.
