India has slashed windfall taxes on locally produced crude oil, and for exported diesel and aviation turbine fuel, in line with the decline in international prices.
The government also removed a 5-rupee-per-liter levy on the export of aviation fuel.
Indian Oil Corp., the nation’s largest fuel retailer, has lowered prices for aviation fuel by about 4.5% to INR 115,520.27 every kiloliter in Delhi from October 1 to pass on the benefit to consumers.
