No increase in state duties on petrol and diesel for three years

Broken. The commitment expressly prohibits an increase in state duties on petrol and diesel during the first three years after the 2022 election. Goa issued Notification No. 4/2/2024-Fin(R&C)/25737 in June 2024, within that three-year period, revising the VAT treatment of motor spirit and high-speed diesel. The resulting state-tax increase raised the retail price of petrol by Re 1 per litre and diesel by 36 paise per litre from June 22, 2024. VAT is a state-imposed fuel duty for the purpose of this commitment. Because the Government took the opposite action during the protected period, the promise is broken rather than merely pending.
