Reliance Industries Ltd (RIL) shares tumbled near 9% on Friday after the government slapped tariffs on the export of petrol, diesel, and jet fuel (ATF) carried outside by Indian companies. The government levied a tax of Rs 6 per litre on petrol and aviation turbine fuel exports, and Rs 13 per litre on diesel exports. The move is intended to address domestic market demand.

It also imposed tariffs on crude oil firms’ windfall earnings. The government levied a Rs 23,230 per barrel cess on domestic crude production. The measure is intended to reduce the windfall profits coming to producers as a result of high worldwide oil prices.

The taxation of windfall gains by crude producers reduced ONGC’s stock price by 12%. The ONGC shares plummeted 12.28% intraday to Rs 132.85 from the previous closing of Rs 151.45 on the BSE.
