Shock after blow
Earlier, amid the fall in crude oil prices in the international market, the government had increased the excise duty on petrol and diesel by Rs 2 per liter. This information was given in an official order. According to this, excise duty on petrol has been increased by Rs 13 per liter and on diesel by Rs 10 per liter.
