Haryana Cabinet under the chairmanship of Chief Minister Manohar Lal on Monday approved the Haryana Electric Vehicle (EV) Policy-2022.

The Chief Minister said, “The use of Electric Vehicles (EV) has become the need of the hour as it will only help reduce the increasing pollution levels but will also lead to a decline in the use of petroleum products.”

“The Haryana EV policy would benefit the buyers of vehicles as well as the manufacturers and people doing research and development,” he added.

Discount for Buyers

To strengthen the use of EV vehicles, the State Government will give a discount of 15 per cent or of Rs 6 lakh on an electric car priced between Rs 15 lakh and Rs 40 lakh. Similarly, a 15 per cent price discount or a discount of Rs 3 lakh will be given on the purchase of a hybrid electric car costing between Rs 15 lakh and Rs 40 lakh.

The Chief Minister further informed that a 100 per cent rebate in motor vehicle tax would be given on the purchase of electric two-wheeler and three-wheeler.

Exemption for EV manufacturers

Electric vehicle manufacturers will also be given exemption as per the policy. “An exemption of 50 per cent on State GST for 10 years will be given to the manufacturers. Also, there will be 100 per cent exemption in stamp duty, apart from 100 per cent exemption on electricity duty for 20 years,” he said.

The State Government will also focus on strengthening exemption infrastructure to promote and encourage the use of electric vehicles. “Charging stations will be installed at government and private buildings. Private group residential buildings, commercial buildings, malls, institutes and metro stations will also get charging stations,” he added.
