The Uttar Pradesh government has issued the “much awaited” government order (GO) paving the way for the grant of exemption from road tax and registration fee on the purchase of an electric vehicle in the state. The move comes five months after the government rolled out its Electric Vehicle Manufacturing and Mobility Policy- 2022 in October last year.
The exemption by the Uttar Pradesh government is in addition to the subsidy provided by the Central government on purchase of electric vehicles.
“Together, these reliefs provided by the Central government and the state government will reduce the cost of two-wheelers by ₹15,000 to ₹20,000 on-road and cars by up to ₹1 lakh,” a government spokesperson said.
