The Telangana government led by Chief Minister Kalvakuntla Chandrashekhar Rao, which is not leaving any stone unturned to develop the state in all aspects has focused on encouraging electric vehicle manufacture and usage.As part of this, the government has announced Telangana Electric and Energy Storage Policy 2022-30. Under the Policy, the first 2 lakh electric vehicles in the state will get incentives.
To encourage the usage of electric vehicles, three-wheelers and three-seater auto-rickshaws, electric four-wheelers, tourist cabs, and other vehicles will not be charged by road tax and registration fee as part of the incentives.Out of the first two lakh electric vehicles in the states, the two-wheelers will be completely barred from road tax and registration fees. They need not pay a single penny for the registration process and road tax.
On the other hand, 15 percent of the retro-fitment cost will be provided to the three-seater electric auto-rickshaws. However, Rs 15,000 was fixed per vehicle under the incentives.The government has decided to waive off the road tax and registration fees for other vehicles like tractors, buses, and other vehicles.
The main agenda behind announcing these incentives is to curb the ait pollution and save the environment. If the consumers opt for electric vehicles, people can enjoy a pollution-free environment.
