Chandigarh’s Transport Department, led by Sh. Nitin Yadav, Secretary Transport, and Sh. Vinay Pratap Singh, DC Chandigarh, has taken significant steps to promote eco-friendly transportation in the city. They recently conducted a comprehensive evaluation of the registrations of Hybrid vehicles within the region.

As part of their initiative, the Transport Department has announced that Hybrid vehicles, both Strong Hybrid and Plug-in Hybrid models, purchased in Chandigarh, will now be eligible for full exemption from road tax. To ensure the credibility of this exemption process, the Registering and Licensing Authority (RLA) has diligently compiled a certified list of approved Strong hybrid and Plug-in hybrid vehicles, complete with details of the Manufacturers, Models/variants, and corresponding certificate numbers issued by the manufacturers.

This certified list will serve as the official reference to verify the authenticity of purchased models, thereby facilitating a seamless application of the road tax exemption. To keep the list up-to-date, the RLA will continuously update it as they receive certificates from the manufacturers.

To further expedite the registration process for hybrid vehicles, the Transport Department has also introduced a comprehensive Standard Operating Procedure (SOP). Under this SOP, automobile dealers will provide temporary registration certificates to vehicle owners and handle the formalities for road tax exemption directly with the Registering and Licensing Authority within 24 hours. This streamlined process ensures that the application for road tax exemption will be processed within a day, sparing vehicle owners from the burdensome paperwork and long queues.

The Transport Department’s efforts to encourage the adoption of eco-friendly vehicles aim to contribute to a cleaner, greener Chandigarh. The road tax exemption not only benefits the environment but also offers cost-saving advantages to vehicle owners, promoting a sustainable and eco-conscious approach to transportation in the city.
