Petrol and diesel rates will thus be increased
Once excise duty, dealer commission and other items are added to the price of petrol and diesel, its price will double. If the central government excludes excise duty and state governments’ VAT, diesel and petrol rates may be around Rs 27 per liter, but neither central nor state government can remove the tax at any cost. Because the bulk of the revenue comes from here. This money leads to growth.
