Chandigarh: No Road Tax on Strong and Plug-In Hybrids

With the tax waiver, the on-road price of hybrid models is expected to be reduced by at least Rs 78,000.

The Chandigarh transport department has decided to waive off-road tax on strong hybrid and plug-in hybrid vehicles for a limited period of 5 years, starting from March 18, 2023, to March 17, 2028.

The Union Territory of Chandigarh had earlier announced a road tax waiver for electric vehicles. This has now been extended to hybrid and plug-in hybrid vehicles as well. The move is expected to reduce the on-road price of these models by at least Rs 78,000.

With an aim to encourage people to buy EVs, the administration is also offering incentives ranging from Rs 3,000 to Rs 2 lakh on e-cycles, e-bikes and electric cars purchased between September 20, 2022 and September 19, 2027.
