Kolkata: The Bengal Budget on Friday gave a fillip to seamless transition to cleaner fuel in the transport sector by encouraging people to buy vehicles powered by electricity and CNG.
As an incentive, the state budget has proposed exemptions on registration fees and road tax for both electric and CNG vehicles the next two years from 2022-23 financial year. This is the biggest budgetary push for electric vehicles ever since the EV Policy was announced last year, which also promised sops for shifting to cleaner fuel.
