Government Revises Fuel Export Taxes: Check New Petrol and Diesel Duty Rates
Export Levies: The Central Government has announced new levies on the export of petrol, diesel, and aviation turbine fuel (ATF) from June 1, 2026. This is aimed at maintaining adequate fuel availability in the country amid the West Asian crisis. No changes have been made to the export of petrol and diesel for domestic consumption.
The Central Government has imposed new export taxes on petrol, diesel, and ATF. New export duties shall come into effect for the next fifteen days from June 1, 2026. The move has been taken to ensure sufficient availability of petroleum products within the nation and restrict any further export of such petroleum goods.
Previously, the SAED and RIC have been levied on the export of petrol, diesel, and ATF since March 27, 2026. This was done due to uncertainties that had arisen in the global oil market owing to tensions in West Asia. Consequently, the government decided to discourage exports to prioritize domestic needs.
According to the Ministry of Finance, these duties are reviewed every 15 days. New rates are determined based on the average international prices of crude oil, petrol, diesel, and ATF. Previously, the duty revisions were effective from May 16, 2026.
