Excise duty increase on petrol and diesel mandates higher per litre rates, altering previous notification and effective from April eighth. The Central Government, exercising statutory powers, amends the tariff Table of Notification No. 05/2019 by substituting the entries in column (4) for Sl. No. 1 and Sl. No. 2 with new per litre rates for petrol and diesel; the amendment is notified as No. 02/2025 Central Excise, dated 7 April 2025, and comes into force on 8 April 2025.
