The revised excise duty rates on petroleum products come into effect from May 16, 2026.
The Ministry of Finance (Department of Revenue) issued the notifications for the revised excise duty rates.
Under Notification No. 22/2026-Central Excise, the duty rate under Serial Number 1 has been revised to Rs. 3 per litre, and the duty rate under Serial Number 2 has been revised to Rs. 16.5 per litre.
Notification No. 23/2026-Central Excise substitutes the applicable duty entry under Serial Number 1 with a revised rate of Rs. 16 per litre.
Central excise duty rates are still relevant for petroleum products because they remain partly outside the GST framework in India.
