<h1>Excise duty relief and export levies aim to shield fuel consumers and secure domestic supply amid global oil-price volatility.</h1> Excise duty on petrol and diesel has been reduced to cushion domestic consumers against the rise in global crude oil prices and the resulting pressure on fuel costs. The special additional excise duty on petrol has been cut and the corresponding levy on diesel has been removed, while export duties have been reintroduced on diesel and aviation turbine fuel to preserve domestic availability of these products. The measure applies to diesel and aviation turbine fuel, but no windfall tax has been imposed on domestic crude oil producers.
