The State government has made the decision to completely exempt electric vehicles (EVs) from road taxes and registration fees in an attempt to incentivize individuals to convert to EVs. On Monday, the new EV policy will go into effect.
Speaking to the media on Sunday, Transport Minister Ponnam Prabhakar said the new policy was expected to give a major boost to the adoption of electric vehicles across Telangana, aligning with the State’s broader goals of environmental sustainability and energy efficiency. Along with the registration fee waiver for electric vehicles, the government plans to roll out infrastructure improvements, including more charging stations and incentives for manufacturers, he informed.
Electric Buses purchased and registered in Telangana for the initial two years, up to December 31, 2026, irrespective of the number of vehicles registered, are also fully exempt from road tax and registration fees for the entire life of the EVs, but must be operated by the Telangana State Road Transport Corporation only. Buses owned by any industry for the purpose of transporting their own employees exclusively are also exempted provided that these buses are not used for commercial purposes.
