The Kerala government on Saturday announced a cut in the state tax on petrol and diesel by Rs 2.41 and Rs 1.36, respectively. The decision came a few hours after the Central government reduced the excise duty on petrol by Rs 8 per litre and on diesel by Rs 6 per litre. "This will reduce the price of petrol by Rs 9.5 per litre and of diesel by Rs 7 per litre", Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said.
