No windfall tax on diesel, ATF exports from Reliance SEZ refinery

The reimposed windfall export taxes on diesel and aviation turbine fuel (ATF) will not apply to Reliance Industries Ltd's SEZ refinery due to judicial rulings, a senior official said on Thursday. Effective March 26, the government revised fuel levies, reintroducing export duties of Rs 21.50 per litre on diesel and Rs 29.50 per litre on ATF, while keeping petrol exports exempt. The move coincided with a Rs 10 per litre cut in excise duty on petrol and diesel. Initially, it was not clear if exports from Reliance's special economic zone (SEZ) refinery - one of the largest contributors to India's refined product exports - would retain exemptions similar to those under the 2022 windfall tax regime. "As per judicial prouncements on this issue, the special additional excise duty and additional excise duty are not applicable on SEZ refineries," Jainendra Singh Kandhari, Joint Secretary in the Tax Research Unit (TRU-1) of the Department of Revenue, said at a media briefing.

Russia calls temporary halt to gas, diesel fuel exports to stabilise prices

Russia has announced a ban on exports of gasoline and diesel fuel, aiming to stabilise rising domestic prices and improve the country's fuel supply. The government decree issued on Thursday said the restrictions would be temporary but did not give a date for them ending. The move was expected to lead to increased fuel prices in the world market. Russia's exports of diesel fuel are estimated at about 9,00,000 barrels a day and the country has exported 60,000-1,00,000 barrels of gasoline daily, state news agency Tass reported. Tass said domestic fuel prices dropped by about 4 per cent after the ban was announced. The ban will not apply to other countries in the Moscow-led Eurasian Economic Union trading bloc Armenia, Belarus, Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan.
