Haryana is among the highest EV users in India.

Of the total, 48.4% accounted for e-rickshaws.

According to the Gurugram district administration, the new system provides for direct financial benefits to buyers at the time of vehicle registration.

Singh said the expansion of electric vehicles was important for developing an environmentally friendly transportation system, particularly in a rapidly developing district such as Gurugram. He added that the tax exemption would provide financial incentives to citizens purchasing electric vehicles and encourage the adoption of environment-friendly modes of transportation.
