Haryana Approves Motor Vehicle Tax Exemptions for Electric Vehicles and Women Buyers
The Haryana Cabinet, led by Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini, approved a full exemption from motor vehicle tax for new electric vehicles priced up to Rs 30 lakh, and a 50% exemption for those above this amount. This policy aims to promote electric vehicle adoption and reduce pollution. Additionally, a 1% tax rebate was introduced for non-transport vehicles registered in women's names. The existing 20% rebate for CNG vehicles remains unchanged, reflecting the state's ongoing support for cleaner transportation.
