The government has scrapped 30-month-old windfall profit tax on domestically-produced crude oil and on export of jet fuel (ATF), diesel and petrol.
India first imposed windfall profit taxes on July 1, 2022 joining a growing number of nations that tax super normal profits of energy companies.
A ₹23,250 per tonne ($40 per barrel) windfall profit tax on the domestic crude production was levied.
The tax rates were reviewed every fortnight based on average oil prices in the previous two weeks.
The government had garnered about ₹25,000 crore from the levy in the first year of its implementation, ₹13,000 crore in 2023-24 and ₹6,000 crore this year.
