The Uttar Pradesh (UP) government has announced a full waiver of registration tax on strong hybrid cars, potentially saving customers up to ₹3.50 lakh. The move will benefit companies such as Maruti Suzuki India (MSIL), Honda Cars India (HCIL), and Toyota Kirloskar Motor (TKM). The state, is offering a "100% waiver on registration fees for strong hybrid electric vehicles and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles" through a directive issued on July 5. With UP charging 8-10% road tax on vehicles, this waiver is a significant incentive. Earlier this year, the state also implemented a zero registration cost policy for electric vehicles (EVs).
