The government has decided to do away with custom duty and Agriculture Infrastructure and Development Cess for two years on the import of 20 lakh metric tonnes of soybean oil and sunflower oil. Which till now used to be at the rate of five percent.

According to a report released in this regard, the exemption given on the import of oils will be applicable till March 31, 2024. According to the notification issued by the Finance Ministry on Tuesday, import duty will not be levied on 2 million tonnes of crude soybean and sunflower oil annually in the financial years 2022-23 and 2023-24.
The major share of edible oils in inflation
