Gujarat is also included among the states charging the lowest tax on petrol in the country. According to a state-wise comparison of petrol taxes for October 2026, state-level taxes and levies on petrol in Gujarat amount to only ₹15.7 per liter. With these figures, Gujarat becomes the fourth lowest tax-charging state in the country regarding the imposition of state taxes on petrol.
Published by Finlipi.com, this comparison includes VAT, sales tax, and state cess levied per liter of petrol. This data is based on the Petroleum Planning and Analysis Cell's (PPAC) estimated state tax rates applicable on retail prices up to 15 October 2026. State cess is included in this calculation, but central excise duty has been excluded.
In Arunachal Pradesh, the tax is ₹12.4 per liter, in Meghalaya ₹13.6, and in Uttarakhand ₹14.4, which are lower than Gujarat. This comparison shows that Gujarat's state tax is significantly lower than its neighboring states of Rajasthan (₹26.5 per liter), Madhya Pradesh (₹28.4 per liter), Maharashtra (₹26.3 per liter), and Karnataka (₹25.5 per liter).
Talking about other states, in this comparison, the state tax in Andhra Pradesh is the highest at ₹31.8 per liter, followed by Telangana at ₹30.2 and Kerala at ₹29.7. Bihar has a tax of ₹26.6 per liter, while in West Bengal this proportion is ₹27. Additionally, the tax per liter is ₹21 in Assam, ₹22.6 in Tamil Nadu, ₹23.8 in Odisha, and ₹22.6 in Chhattisgarh.
These figures indicate lower state-level taxation on petrol in Gujarat compared to several other states. However, the state tax is only one part of the final retail price, which also includes central excise duty, dealer commission, and other applicable components.
