India's government slashed central excise duties on petrol and diesel by 10 rupees per liter to prevent retail fuel prices from rising amid a surge in global oil prices caused by the Iran war. This move absorbs costs that would otherwise increase inflation and slow economic growth but risks widening the fiscal deficit. The tax cut reduces losses for oil companies and aims to protect consumers, while export duties on diesel and aviation fuel were raised to ensure domestic supply. The ongoing energy price surge threatens India's economic growth, potentially reducing GDP growth from 7.2% to 6.5% if oil prices remain high post-conflict.
