BusinessPanel Recommends Including Petrol, Diesel, ATF Under GST
An expert panel by India's Petroleum and Natural Gas Regulatory Board recommended bringing petrol, diesel, and aviation turbine fuel (ATF) under the Goods and Services Tax (GST) regime. This aims to enable inter-state transport of fuels via pipelines, reducing logistics costs and carbon emissions. Until then, the panel suggested abolishing or reducing the Central Sales Tax (CST) to nil, as originally proposed in the 2007 budget.
