Data Point | Explaining India’s recent fuel tax cuts

The Hindu  

It’s a relief that the Union government has cut the fuel tax. A look at the developments that preceded the recent excise duty cuts: After weeks of incremental increases in fuel prices, Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman announced that the Union government is slashing fuel taxes. Her point was that the cut of Rs 8 per litre came from the Road and Infrastructure component of the Union government’s excise duty, which is not shareable with States. The graph below shows the Union government and State government’s tax share in Delhi’s retail prices over time. But the retail petrol price consists of the dealer commission, the State tax and the Union government’s excise duty over the base price of oil.
