Govt Considers Registration Fee Waiver for Electric Vehicles

Electric vehicle registration fee may be abolished to further push this greener mobility segment. It comes as another step in this direction…

Good news for electric vehicle enthusiasts. The Indian government will provide complete concession to buyers from paying the registration fee while purchasing electric vehicles. This move will encourage people to move towards this eco-friendly mode of transport.

Also, the union government will persuade the state governments to completely let go of the road tax or reduce it significantly. Soon, the government may put out a notice asking the feedback of the public on the attempt to switch to electric mobility.

The current registration charges are fixed by the Transport Ministry of India. For registering two-wheelers customers have to pay Rs 50 while the same task for a four-wheeler is Rs 600.

The amounts may not be big but this is a step in the positive direction. Already, electric vehicles for commercial usage are exempted from any permit to run across India. Our country has a huge commuter segment that uses two-wheelers for daily purposes.
