NEW DELHI: The government on Wednesday proposed to waive registration charges for electric vehicles to boost adoption of environment-friendly vehicles.
The proposal comes at a time when the country plans high penetration of such vehicles by 2030.
Issuing the draft notification to amend the Central Motor Vehicles Rules (CMVR), 1989, the road transport and highways ministry said battery-operated vehicles “shall be exempted from the payment of fees for the purpose of issue or renewal of registration certificate and assignment of new registration mark”.
The exemption will apply to all category of vehicles, including two-wheelers.
The ministry has issued the draft notification for amendments in CMVR where the amendments in Rule 81 are proposed for such waiver.
