India raises diesel export duty to ₹55.5/l and ATF duty to ₹42/l
Diesel and aviation fuel exporters face immediate higher export duties
Change
India increased export duties on high-speed diesel to ₹55.5 per litre from ₹21.5 and on aviation turbine fuel to ₹42 per litre from ₹29.5, effective immediately.
Why it matters
Export consignments must now clear customs with the higher levies applied at shipment exit. Exporters and buyers priced on earlier duty levels will face immediate cost gaps or risk shipment delays if they do not reconcile pricing before export.
Implications
- — Petroleum exporters and refiners — must immediately reprice export offers or delay shipments — otherwise customs will collect the higher duty at exit and exporters will incur unplanned margin losses.
- — Airlines' fuel procurement teams — must renegotiate or amend fuel supply contracts now — otherwise deliveries priced to prior duty levels will result in higher landed fuel costs or risk supplier non-delivery.
