The government made a decisive move on Saturday by increasing export duties on diesel and aviation fuel, aiming to stabilize domestic fuel supply.
Effective immediately, the diesel duty was raised to Rs 55.5 per litre and the aviation turbine fuel (ATF) to Rs 42 a litre, as per the finance ministry's notification.
This adjustment responds to the global energy market disruptions caused by Middle East conflicts, preventing exporters from profiting excessively amid fluctuating crude oil prices.
