However, to reduce the burden on consumers, Nagaland became the fifth state to cut taxes after the recent surge of fuel prices that have pushed prices to new highs. On Wednesday, the northeast state joined four other states, namely West Bengal, Rajasthan, Assam, and Meghalaya, to have reduced state-related taxes on fuel.

The Nagaland state government said the tax rate for diesel has been reduced from Rs 11.08 to Rs 10.51 per litre. While the tax on petrol and other automotive spirits has been reduced from Rs 18.26 to Rs 16.04 per litre. With this change, the retail price of petrol and diesel in Nagaland came down to Rs 90.41 and Rs 83.99 per litre each.
