The Haryana Cabinet has approved a 100 percent exemption on road tax for new battery electric vehicles (BEVs) priced up to Rs 30 lakh (ex-showroom).

Haryana EV tax waiver: What’s changed?

The revised policy marks a significant expansion of Haryana’s incentives for electric vehicles. Under the previous policy, battery electric vehicles were eligible for a 20 percent exemption on road tax. The latest decision increases this benefit to a full tax exemption for EVs priced up to Rs 30 lakh, while introducing a 50 percent exemption for models priced above the threshold.

The decision was approved by the Haryana Cabinet, chaired by Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini, and implements announcements made in the state’s 2026-27 Budget.

Most mass-market EVs to benefit

The revised tax structure is expected to cover the majority of mass-market electric cars sold in India, while extending a partial tax concession to premium EVs priced above Rs 30 lakh. The state government said the move is aimed at accelerating EV adoption and strengthening Haryana’s electric mobility policy.

CNG benefits unchanged; women buyers get additional rebate

Haryana will continue to offer the existing 20 percent one-time motor vehicle tax exemption for CNG vehicles, with no changes to the current policy.

Separately, the Cabinet has approved a 1 percent rebate on motor vehicle tax for new private vehicles priced up to Rs 20 lakh (ex-showroom) registered in the name of a woman.
