The Federation of Chandigarh Region Automobile Dealers has filed a petition in the Punjab and Haryana High Court challenging the Electric Vehicle Policy of 2022, along with subsequent amendments dated July 7 and October 18, which introduced restrictions on the registration of Non-Electric Vehicles/Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) Vehicles.
The petitioners’ case is that the Electric Vehicle (EV) Policy, introduced by the Chandigarh Administration in 2022 based on government guidelines, was intended to promote electric vehicles by offering incentives to consumers, including monetary benefits and charging infrastructure.
