Rajasthan announces subsidies to promote electric vehicles after Delhi, Maharashtra and Gujarat announce similar schemes
The Rajasthan Government on Friday announced a policy to subsidise the sale of electric vehicles (EV) making it the latest state to have such a policy after Maharashtra, Gujarat and Delhi.
As per the policy document, the state component of the goods and services tax (SGST) would be refunded to buyers of all EVs in Rajasthan between April this year and March 2022.
Moreover, buyers of electric two- and three-wheelers would be given additional cash subsidies between Rs 5,000 and Rs 20,000 depending on the size of the battery equipped.
However, unlike other states with buyer-side subsidies for EVs, the Rajasthan government will not extend any cash subsidies for electric cars or buses.
