Odisha Extends Electric Vehicle Policy Validity Until December 2026
The Odisha government has extended the validity of its Electric Vehicle (EV) Policy, 2021, until December 31, 2026, aiming to promote green mobility and reduce carbon emissions. The policy offers financial incentives such as 100% exemption from road tax and registration fees, purchase subsidies for two-wheelers, four-wheelers, passenger buses, and goods carriers, as well as support for manufacturing industries and loan interest subvention. These measures encourage EV adoption and local manufacturing of EV components in the state.
