How much you can save from Uttar Pradesh’s waiver of registration fee on hybrid cars

The UP government issued a circular implementing the policy as per which a “100 per cent waiver on registration fee of strong hybrid electric vehicles and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles” will become effective immediately.

Uttar Pradesh is among the largest markets for passenger vehicles in India and saw retail sales of 2,36,097 units in the first half (H1) of this year- 13.46 per cent increase compared to 2,08,092 units in January-June 2023.

Ankit Raj, Chairperson of the Federation of Automobile Dealers Associations (FADA), “This policy will boost strong hybrid vehicle sales in UP, even though the market is currently small. Most buyers of such vehicles are not first-time owners. This move by Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath is set to aid the auto sector.”
