Andhra Pradesh Announces Tax Exemptions for Electric Vehicles

In a significant move to promote eco-friendly transportation, the Andhra Pradesh government has announced tax exemptions for electric vehicles under the Andhra Pradesh Motor Vehicles Taxation Act, 1963. This decision, published in the latest extraordinary gazette, aims to encourage the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) and reduce carbon emissions across the state.

The exemption applies to all categories of electric vehicles, including two-wheelers, three-wheelers, and four-wheelers. This policy is expected to make EVs more affordable for consumers and accelerate the transition to sustainable mobility. The government has also emphasized the importance of building charging infrastructure to support this initiative.

This announcement aligns with the state's broader goals of reducing air pollution and dependence on fossil fuels. Experts believe that such incentives will play a crucial role in achieving India's national targets for electric vehicle adoption and combating climate change.
