Centre slashes windfall tax on petrol exports; reduces duties on diesel, ATF

Big news! The government has cut taxes on fuel exports. They've slashed the windfall tax on petrol exports to Rs 1.5/litre and reduced duties on diesel and jet fuel too, starting June 1. The finance ministry said "road and infrastructure cess will be nil on export of petrol and diesel." This aims to boost local supply.
