The central government on May 21 cut excise duty on petrol by Rs 8 per litre and that on diesel by Rs 6 per litre. The cut was estimated to translate into a reduction of Rs 9.5 per litre in petrol prices and Rs 7 per litre in diesel, after taking into account its impact on other levies. Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman had also urged states to reduce VAT (value-added tax) for further bringing down petrol prices. After this, several state governments, including Kerala, Maharashtra and Rajasthan, also cut value-added tax on petrol and diesel, thus further reducing rates in those states.
