India raises taxes on diesel and jet fuel exports

India raised windfall taxes on exports of diesel and aviation turbine fuel as global oil prices climbed amid an escalation of the U.S.-Iran conflict. The government order targets producer/export economics in response to higher crude-linked prices, adding potential friction for outbound supply and margins for refiners. Expect a moderate impact for energy-linked equities/flows, particularly where export economics are sensitive to duty changes.
