Rajasthan ready to reduce excise duty if...: Minister Pratap Singh Khachariyawas

Rajasthan Transport Minister Pratap Singh Khachariyawas said the state is ready to reduce the entire tax levied (on fuel prices) if the central government is ready to do the same.

Rajasthan Transport Minister Pratap Singh Khachariyawas said the state government is ready to reduce the entire tax levied (on fuel prices) since 2014 if the central government is ready to do the same. This comes a day after the Centre slashed the excise duty on petrol and diesel.

"If the central government is ready to reduce the entire excise duty that it has levied since 2014, then the Rajasthan government will also reduce the same. The Rajasthan government is a government which has taken several projects for the welfare of the people," Pratap Singh Khachariyawas said in an exclusive interview with India Today TV.
