The Rajasthan government has come up with an e-vehicle policy to encourage the purchase of electric vehicles in the state. The Rajasthan Electric Vehicle Policy (REVP) came into being from Thursday under which the government has sanctioned a fund of Rs 40 crore for contribution on the purchase of electric vehicles.<\/p>\n
An official of the transport department said that a notification in this regard was issued on Wednesday. The policy will be for a period of five years from September 1, 2022.<\/p>\n
Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot had announced the policy in the budget 2019-20, and had approved the draft policy on 24 May this year.<\/p>\n
Under this, the government approved the proposed one-time contribution on the purchase of electric vehicles and an additional budget provision of Rs 40 crore for reimbursement of State Goods and Services Tax (SGST).<\/p>\n
With the increase of electric vehicles, which is encouraged through the policy, pollution caused by diesel and petrol vehicles in the state will come down, the official said.<\/p>\n
The state government had announced to reimburse Rs 5,000 to Rs 10,000 SGST amount for two-wheelers and Rs 10,000 to 20,000 for the purchase of three-wheelers according to the battery capacity of the vehicle.<\/p>\n
At the same time, the transport department has received a sum of Rs 40 crore to clear the pending cases of grant on the purchase of electric vehicles.<\/p>\n
“We have received funds from the state government and all pending dues related to electric vehicle purchase of this financial year will be cleared soon,” Transport Commissioner K L Swami said.<\/p>\n
An amount of Rs 18 crore was given as grants to people who bought e-vehicles in the last financial year in 12 Regional Transport Office (RTO) areas of the state.<\/p>\n
Of Rs 40 crore, a grant amount of Rs 5 crore is to be disbursed to 3,000 vehicle owners (who purchased vehicles in the current fiscal year) in the state, which will be done soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
