With the Centre slashing excise duty on petrol and diesel, the Haryana government too announced a reduction in VAT on the fuels on Thursday, making them cheaper in the BJP-JJP-ruled state by Rs 12 per litre on Diwali.

Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar took to Twitter to announce the measure.

“On the occasion of Diwali, the central government has announced a reduction in prices of petrol and diesel. Taking it forward, the Haryana government has also reduced the rate of VAT on petrol and diesel in the state.

“Now, both petrol and diesel in entire Haryana will be cheaper by Rs 12 per litre,” the chief minister said.
