The Indian government has recently announced a hike in LPG prices across all categories, including Ujjwala beneficiaries. In addition to this, there has been an increase in the special additional excise duty on petrol and diesel by Rs 2 per litre. This move is expected to have an impact on the budget of households and businesses across the country. The rise in LPG prices comes at a time when the cost of living is already a concern for many in India. The increase in fuel prices is likely to lead to higher transportation costs, which could result in inflationary pressures on essential goods and services. The government’s decision to raise the special additional excise duty on petrol and diesel is aimed at increasing revenue collection amid the economic challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic. It is essential for consumers and businesses to adjust their budgets accordingly to accommodate these price hikes. The government’s move is expected to have wide-ranging implications on the economy and will be closely monitored by experts and industry stakeholders.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
