The Big Decision on Electric Vehicles in Maharashtra 🚗⚡
The Maharashtra government has made an important announcement about electric vehicles (EVs). Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis declared that electric vehicles costing more than 30 lakh rupees will now be tax-free. This means that buyers of expensive EVs will not have to pay the previously proposed 6% tax.
Maharashtra: The Electric Vehicle Capital of India 🇮🇳
Maharashtra is a leader in electric vehicle sales in India, accounting for 15% of total sales. This shows how popular EVs are becoming in the state. CM Fadnavis mentioned that not only private buyers, but also government officials will use electric vehicles. This is a step towards a cleaner environment.
Changes in CNG and PNG Vehicle Taxes 💰
In another update, Finance Minister Ajit Pawar announced that CNG and PNG vehicles will become more expensive due to an additional 1% tax on four-wheelers. Additionally, a 6% tax will still apply to electric vehicles priced above Rs 30 lakh.
Plans for More Electric Buses 🚍
To tackle traffic jams, the Maharashtra government is considering purchasing 2500 electric buses for Pimpri Chinchwad. The number of electric two-wheelers is also rising, showing a shift towards more sustainable transport.
Charging Stations and Future Projects 🔌
The government is working on setting up a network of charging stations for electric vehicles. Major projects are underway in Pune and Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar to strengthen the EV infrastructure.
No Road Tax for Electric Vehicles 🚧
According to the Maha EV Policy 2021, there will be no road or RTO tax for electric vehicles in Maharashtra. This is a great incentive for people to switch to electric cars.
In 2024, Maharashtra saw the sale of 15,044 electric cars, making it the largest market for EVs in India.
