Where does money spent on each litre of petrol and diesel go?

The Centre cut special additional excise duty on fuel, bringing the total to ₹11.90/litre from ₹21.90/litre for petrol and ₹7.8/litre from ₹17.8/litre for diesel. This also includes an agriculture cess (₹2.5/litre;₹4/litre) and additional excise duty for roads (₹5/litre; ₹2/litre) for petrol and diesel. Retail prices vary across India due to the various VAT/local levies imposed by states and UTs.
