India reimposes windfall tax on diesel and ATF exports
Change
India reintroduced windfall export levies of Rs 21.5/litre on diesel and Rs 29.5/litre on ATF.
Why it matters
Exporters must pay Rs 21.5 per litre on diesel and Rs 29.5 per litre on ATF, adding a binding per‑unit cost to outbound shipments. That reduces refiners' export margins or forces higher export prices, making diesel and ATF exports less profitable and likely to slow.
Implications
- · Refiners' export margins will shrink due to the per‑litre levy.
- · Diesel and ATF export volumes are likely to decline as exports become less profitable and shipments slow down.
Who is affected
- · Refiners
- · Fuel exporters
- · Oil marketing companies
