TL;DR
Tamil Nadu has extended its 100% road tax exemption for electric vehicles until December 31, 2027, to further promote EV adoption and reduce pollution.
In a significant boost for electric vehicle (EV) adoption, the Tamil Nadu government has prolonged its 100% road tax exemption for EVs for an additional two years, now valid until December 31, 2027. This decision aims to further encourage the uptake of environment-friendly, battery-operated vehicles and contribute to reducing air pollution across the state.
The full road tax waiver was initially introduced as part of the Tamil Nadu Electric Vehicle Policy in 2019 and was previously extended until December 31, 2025. Following requests from vehicle manufacturers and industry bodies, the state government has approved another extension, demonstrating its long-term commitment to green mobility.
This extended exemption is expected to considerably lower the purchase cost of electric two-wheelers and four-wheelers, incentivizing more consumers to switch to EVs. The move is anticipated to reduce fuel expenses for individuals and accelerate Tamil Nadu's transition towards a cleaner and more sustainable transportation system.
