Govt cuts edible oil duty to ease prices
What the source reported
Source-reportedThe government has cut customs duty on various edible oils, which includes crude and refined oils. These changes aim to reduce import costs and potentially ease domestic prices. The reduced duties are effective from September 24, allowing businesses to benefit immediately. India, one of the largest edible oil importers, is sensitive to global commodity price fluctuations. This action may provide relief from rising food inflation across the country.
