India slashed its special excise duties on petrol and diesel, as fuel prices stay volatile with supplies choked by the Iran war, reports Reuters.

In a government order, India’s finance ministry reduced the special excise duty on petrol to Rs3 ($0.0318) per litre from Rs13 earlier. It also cut the duty on diesel to zero from Rs10.
