Petrol, diesel under GST: ‘Not possible in next 8-10 yrs,’ Sushil Modi explains

Bringing petrol and diesel under the Goods and Services Tax (GST) regime is not possible for the next 8-10 years, veteran Bharatiya Janata Party leader Sushil Kumar Modi said on Wednesday.

While speaking at the Parliament, Sushil Modi asked, “Repeatedly, the issue of putting petrol and diesel in the GST regime is being raked up. I have been associated with the GST for a long time, I want to know from the House, that if petrol and diesel are put under the GST regime, who will compensate for the loss of revenue of over ₹2 lakh crore to states.”
