Chandigarh: With the Haryana Government’s new tax exemption policy aimed at promoting electric vehicles coming into force, registration of electric vehicles has commenced in Gurugram district. Under the new system, the first electric vehicles have been registered in both Gurugram and Badshahpur sub-divisions. With a 100% exemption from motor vehicle tax on electric vehicles having an ex-showroom price of up to Rs. 30 lakh, vehicle buyers are receiving direct benefits ranging from thousands to lakhs of rupees at the time of registration.
Deputy Commissioner, Gurugram Uttam Singh said that the policy introduced by the Haryana Government to promote electric vehicles is an important step towards environmental protection as well as providing financial relief to citizens. Increased adoption of electric vehicles will help reduce pollution and strengthen a clean and green transportation system.
The new tax exemption policy came into effect on Friday, August 21, 2026. With this, the new system for registration of electric vehicles became operational across the state. Under the new system, the first electric vehicle was registered in the Gurugram and Badshahpur sub-divisions of Gurugram district.
According to the registration receipt issued by the Transport Department, Gurugram resident Vikrant submitted an application for registration of a Mahindra BE Formula EV car. Under the new system, the motor vehicle tax of Rs. 2,44,900 payable on the vehicle was completely waived.
DC Uttam Singh said that the state government has introduced a two-tier exemption system on motor vehicle tax with the objective of promoting electric vehicles. Under the policy, new battery-operated electric vehicles with an ex-showroom price of up to Rs. 30 lakh are eligible for a 100% exemption from motor vehicle tax.
Expansion of electric vehicles is an important initiative towards developing an environmentally friendly transportation system. The need for clean and sustainable transportation is continuously increasing in a rapidly developing district like Gurugram. The state government’s tax exemption policy will provide financial incentives to citizens willing to purchase electric vehicles and encourage more people to adopt environment-friendly modes of transportation.
He appealed to vehicle buyers to obtain complete information about the applicable rules and eligibility conditions at the time of purchasing an electric vehicle in order to avail themselves of the benefits of the scheme.
