  • The Andhra Pradesh government has announced a 2 rupees cut in VAT on petrol and diesel to check the mounting prices of the fuels.

    Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu announced the reduction in Value Added Tax in the state assembly today.

    He said the state government was currently levying 4 rupees per litre VAT on petrol and diesel.

    Mr Naidu said, the state would have to forego a revenue of 1,120 crore rupees due to the measure.

    A day before the opposition-sponsored Bharat Bandh
