In the review on April 11, the duties were hiked to Rs 55.5\/litre and Rs 42\/litre. In the April 30 review, they were cut to Rs 23\/litre and Rs 33\/litre, and further slashed to Rs 16.5\/litre and Rs 16\/litre on May 16.<br \/>\nThe windfall tax was levied to increase domestic availability of the fuel amid the US-Israel and Iran war.<br \/>\nIt was also aimed at not allowing exporters to take undue advantage due to price differences as globally crude oil prices had risen since the beginning of the war.<br \/>\nOn February 28, the United States and Israel launched military strikes against Iran, triggering sweeping retaliation from Tehran.<br \/>\nCrude oil prices have remained above USD 100 per barrel over the past week, from the about USD 73 per barrel before the war.<br \/>\nThe windfall tax was to ensure domestic availability of petroleum products by disincentivising exports against the backdrop of the West Asia crisis, the ministry said.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_37679\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-37679\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-37679\" src=\"https:\/\/jammubulletin.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Unknown-4.jpeg\" alt=\"Govt Cuts Windfall Tax On Petrol, Diesel, ATF Exports\" width=\"300\" height=\"168\" srcset=\"https:\/\/jammubulletin.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Unknown-4.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/jammubulletin.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Unknown-4-233x130.jpeg 233w, https:\/\/jammubulletin.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Unknown-4-230x129.jpeg 230w, https:\/\/jammubulletin.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Unknown-4-100x56.jpeg 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-37679\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Govt Cuts Windfall Tax On Petrol, Diesel, ATF Exports<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NEW DELHI, May 31: The government has halved windfall gains tax on export of petrol to Rs 1.5 litre, while reducing the levy on diesel to Rs 13.5\/litre and aviation turbine fuel to Rs 9.5\/litre effective June 1.
