Last year, Union finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman had announced that the Centre had cut central excise duty on petrol by ₹8 per litre and on diesel by ₹6 per litre. The move led to the reduction in price of petrol by ₹9.5 per litre and of diesel by ₹7 per litre.

The minister said the move would have a revenue implication of ₹1 lakh crore per year for the government.

“I wish to exhort all state governments, especially the states where reduction wasn’t done during the last round (November 2021), to also implement a similar cut and give relief to the common man”, the minister had said in a series of tweets.

Petrol and diesel prices are revised daily by the oil companies. Earlier, the fuel prices were revised every 15 days. In 2014, the Centre de-regulated petrol and diesel prices. Since 2017, the fuel prices are updated daily.
