Haryana EV tax waiver kicks in: Which vehicles will get 100% exemption?

Electric vehicles (EVs) have gained popularity in Haryana, with over 1.69 lakh registrations in the financial year 2025-26, primarily in Gurugram, according to the Council on Energy, Environment and Water (CEEW). To encourage the adoption of EVs, the Haryana government introduced a new tax exemption policy on August 21, 2026.

The policy offers 100% exemption from motor vehicle tax for electric vehicles with an ex-showroom price up to Rs 30 lakh. Vehicles priced above Rs 30 lakh are eligible for a 50% exemption. This tax waiver is part of the government's initiative to promote electric vehicles and reduce pollution, contributing to a cleaner and greener transportation system in Gurugram.

However, it's important to note that EVs purchased outside Haryana are not eligible for these tax benefits. To avail of the scheme, buyers must register their electric vehicles within the state of Haryana. The Gurugram Deputy Commissioner, Uttam Singh, emphasized that the policy provides financial relief to citizens at the time of vehicle registration, encouraging the adoption of environmentally friendly modes of transportation.
