The State Government of |Tami Nadu has ordered 100% Tax relief for the electrically-operated motor vehicles.

The State Government of Tamil Nadu has devised clear guidelines for encouraging usage of electrically-operated motor vehicles in order to reduce the pollution created by the running motor vehicles.

Especially, pans were formed to enable investments of over Rs. 50000 Croresas per the policy for electric vehicles released last year by the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu. As per this policy, various concessions were offered to the companies manufacturing electric motor vehicles.  At the same time, it was also estimated that the number of electric vehicles in the State of |Tami Nadu by the year 2030 should be 9.8 Crores!
