Fuel taxation for gasoline and diesel in India includes three main components: a fuel excise duty, additional surcharges or cess and a sales tax (VAT).

The fuel excise duty, levied by the central government, is based on volume and is uniform across the country and consists of the Basic Excise Duty, an Additional Excise Duty, a Special Excise Duty and the Road and Infrastructure Cess. It stood at at INR 19.9 (USD 0.27) per litre for petrol and INR 15.80 (USD 0.21) per litre for diesel fuel as of mid-2022.

The VAT on fuels is levied at the subnational level and its rate considerably varies across states. States further levy different surcharges or additional cess which are calculated either as a percentage of the VAT or a fixed amount. As a result, the overall level of fuel taxation varies across India.

While oil prices on speculative markets have remained capped by trader optimism, the physical supply of the vital energy commodity has been severely compromised, leading to rationing and emergency releases from storage across the world. Meanwhile,…

MIT Uses AI to Challenge a Century-Old Process for Mass Ammonia Production

Ammonia production consumes as much as 2% of the world's energy and generates roughly 1.5% of global greenhouse gas emissions, largely because the industry still relies on a century-old process powered by fossil fuels. Roughly 80% of the 200 million metric tons of ammonia produced globally every year goes into nitrogen fertilizers, with the rest used in plastics, textiles, explosives and other industrial chemicals. Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have now developed a new method that uses AI and quantum-mechanical…

Equinor Targets 27% International Production Growth by 2030

Octopus Boss Warns UK Is Too Exposed to Global Gas Prices

Octopus boss Greg Jackson has called on Andy Burnham to deliver “urgent reform” to the energy market to protect households from “volatile” gas prices. Jackson, founder of the UK’s biggest household electricity supplier, said: “The government’s decision to take VAT off electricity and remove some of the levies from bills has helped soften the blow this winter, but bills are still too high. “Britain remains far too exposed to volatile global gas prices. The wars in Ukraine and Iran have created an unprecedented…
