To further encourage EV adoption, the government has waived registration fee and road tax for three years from the date of notification. In addition, for all electric cars manufactured in the state, this discount will also apply in the fourth and fifth year.

For commercial vehicles, the government offers a subsidy of 15 per cent up to Rs 20 lakh on electric buses, while for goods carriers the subsidy is slightly lower at 10 per cent or up to Rs 10 lakh. However, they differ from private vehicles in that commercial vehicles can only use this subsidy once.

The government is incentivizing battery and electric vehicle manufacturers to invest in the state, offering a capital subsidy of 30 percent or up to Rs 1,000 crore per project.
