Abstract:

The Rajasthan government has released the Rajasthan Electric Vehicle Policy, 2021, and has become the latest state to follow Goa, Delhi, Gujarat, Maharashtra, and West Bengal.

The policy is focused on ramping up sales of electric two-wheelers (E2W) and electric three-wheelers (E3W), also called e-rickshaws, in the state.

According to the state’s transport department, the government will reimburse State Goods and Services Tax (SGST) on the sale of electric vehicles (EV) in Rajasthan. The SGST reimbursement would be based on the SGST amount mentioned in the bill of sale.

The policy also offers subsidies to E2W and E3W based on their battery capacity.
