NEW DELHI: The Union government has decided to waive off registration fee for electric vehicles and also plans to convince state governments to either waive off or reduce the road tax to promote green vehicles.The decision was taken at a meeting chaired by Union minister Nitin Gadkari on Monday and is part of the incentives that the government has identified to push electric mobility in a big way. Sources said the road transport ministry would soon issue a draft notice seeking public feedback on the proposal. Centre Motor Vehicle Rules empower the transport ministry to fix the registration fee. Currently, the registration fee of two-wheelers is merely Rs 50 and for private four-wheeler, one needs to pay Rs 600.“The amount may not be huge. But this is a signal of how the government is keen to walk an extra mile to accelerate the adoption of electric vehicles. We have already exempted the permit condition for electric vehicle, which people buy for commercial operation,” said an official.He added that the real big difference will be felt when all states reduce or end the road tax on electric vehicles. Currently, barely half a dozen states including Maharashtra, Karnataka, Rajasthan and Goa don’t levy any road tax while registering electric vehicles. In other states, the road tax for electric vehicles is between 4% to 10%.
