New Delhi: A news report actively shared on social media based on RTI reply on exports claims that India is exporting refined petrol to 15 nations at Rs 34 per litre while refined diesel is exported to 29 countries at Rs 37 per litre as per the information provided.

It is being alleged that Government has levied high taxes on petroleum products making it a prized commodity for domestic consumers while the same is exported at a much cheaper cost.
