Fuel To Get Cheaper In These Three States

Gujarat cut VAT on petrol and diesel by 4 per cent. Petrol in Maharashtra will be cheaper by Rs 2 and diesel by Rs 1 per litre.

Maharashtra, Gujarat and Himachal Pradesh reduced value-added tax (VAT) on petrol and diesel. The move follows the Centre cutting excise duty on petrol and diesel by Rs 2 per litre last week.

Petrol in Maharashtra will be cheaper by Rs 2 and diesel by Rs 1 per litre from Wednesday. Finance Minister Sudhir Mungantiwar said the decision would cause an annual revenue loss of Rs 2,000 crore to the state exchequer but "the government is ready to bear the additional financial burden despite Maharashtra's economy not being in a good shape."
