India sees no scope for duty cut

New Delhi : India has no immediate plan to further cut factory gate tax on petrol and diesel due to its tight fiscal situation, a finance ministry source said on Tuesday. India had cut factory gate tax on the two fuels by 2 rupees ($0.0311) a litre each last week while presenting the federal budget, but it did not result in lower retail prices as new taxes were added.
