Haryana Approves Full Motor Vehicle Tax Exemption for Electric Vehicles Up to Rs 30 Lakh
The Haryana Cabinet, led by Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini, approved a full motor vehicle tax exemption for new electric vehicles priced up to Rs 30 lakh, and a 50% exemption for those above this threshold. This policy aims to promote clean transportation and reduce pollution. Additionally, a 1% tax rebate was introduced for non-transport vehicles registered in women's names costing up to Rs 20 lakh. The existing 20% rebate for CNG vehicles remains unchanged. These measures fulfill budget announcements for 2026-27 and seek to encourage EV adoption and women's economic participation.
