GST on electric vehicles could be lowered

In a move that could lead to drop in prices of electric vehicles, thereby boosting demand, GST on electric car batteries could be lowered from the current rate of 28% to 12%, according to a Ministry Of Road Transport proposal. The government also plans to allow youth in the age bracket of 16-18 years to drive electric scooters, besides mandating taxi aggregators to have a certain percentage of e-vehicle fleet.

In a related development, the government last week approved green licence plates bearing numbers in white fonts for private e-vehicles and yellow for taxis. The purpose behind distinctive number plates is their easy identification for preferential treatment in parking, free entry in congested zones besides other proposed benefits like concessional toll. The measure is aimed at promoting e-vehicle use and the government is considering exemption from permits for such vehicles.
