PUNE In a step to bring down the fuel prices, the Centre on Saturday reduced the Central excise duty on petrol by ₹8 per litre and that on diesel by ₹6 per litre. In Maharashtra, petrol was reduced by ₹9.09 and diesel was reduced by ₹7.31
Ali Daruwala, national spokesperson of All India Petrol Dealers Association said, “Final selling price of petrol and diesel in Pune will be calculated by 1 am.”
“This is the second and third roll back of excise duty by the Centre. The tax on petrol is ₹19 and ₹12 on diesel, while the Maharashtra government is taking VAT of ₹35 on petrol and ₹25 on diesel. Chief minister Udhhav Thackeray must also roll back tax like the central government,” he added.
