The government imposed an export duty of Rs1/l on jet fuel on 19 December but removed it on 2 January.
India’s jet fuel demand in November rose to 181,000 b/d, up by 3pc from the previous month and 12pc higher against a year earlier, according to latest government data. Domestic air passenger traffic rose to 12.7mn passengers in November, up by 1pc from October and 9pc higher from November 2022, data from the civil aviation ministry show.
