From offering subsidies on purchase of electric vehicles (EV) to road tax exemption and modification of buildings, the UT administration has embarked on an ambitious plan to give a major push to eco-friendly transport options in the city.
The plan, inscribed in the draft Chandigarh EV Policy 2022, was approved by UT administrator Banwarilal Purohit on Thursday. The administration has sought people’s views on the draft, following which the final policy will be implemented from April 1.
Apart from exempting them from road tax, the policy incentivises adoption of all types of EVs. In addition to this, a special early bird incentive will also be given to vehicles purchased and registered in the first year of the policy period.
