Export of diesel and Jet Gasoline

On the export levy on diesel, the Ministry’s reasoning was that with crude turning into costlier, costs of diesel, petrol, and ATF have elevated sharply. Thus, exporting these merchandise at excessive international costs turned so remunerative that some refiners dried out their pumps within the home market. The cess was imposed to curb exports and to maintain the home market provided. Now, this may proceed on diesel as has very excessive consumption.
