The government on Thursday raised the tax on export of diesel and jet fuel and hiked the windfall profit levy on domestically-produced crude oil in line with rising product margins and oil prices.
While private refiners Reliance Industries Ltd and Rosneft-based Nayara Energy are the principal exporters of fuel like diesel and ATF, the windfall levy on domestic crude targets producers like state-owned Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC) and Vedanta Ltd.
Shares of ONGC fell 2.74 per cent to Rs 134.75 apiece on the BSE and Vedanta declined 2.52 per cent to Rs 263.35 per share.
