Commercial LPG Prices Slashed; Govt Raises Petrol Export Tax, Cuts Diesel & ATF Levy; Check Updated City-Wise Rates

The government has revised the windfall tax on exports of petroleum products, increasing the levy on petrol while reducing the duty on diesel and aviation turbine fuel (ATF). At the same time, state-owned oil marketing companies (OMCs) have cut the prices of 19-kg commercial LPG cylinders by up to Rs 183.5 across major cities, providing relief to restaurants, hotels and other commercial establishments.

Both changes came into effect on July 1.
