Electric two- and three-wheelers are becoming popular in the east and the northeast with the region contributing about 9 per cent to the total sales in India.
The Bengal government’s decision in the state budget to exempt registration duty and road tax for two- and four-wheeler EVs in the next two financial years is expected to encourage demand, industry players said.
The Centre had been advising states to offer incentives. Maharashtra, Delhi, Odisha, Gujarat and Meghalaya have these incentives in place. Bengal now follows suit.
