In a significant move towards promoting eco-friendly transportation, the Uttar Pradesh government has announced a waiver of road tax on hybrid cars. This policy aims to encourage the adoption of greener vehicles and reduce the environmental impact of traditional gasoline and diesel-powered cars. Leading automakers Maruti Suzuki and Toyota are expected to benefit significantly from this decision. The exact quantum of reduction in the taxes is not revealed in the notification. However, reports have that a 100 per cent rebate is being offered.
