In a bid to reduce the air
pollution in the capital, the Delhi government said on on Wednesday it
was reducing the VAT (Value Added Tax) on hybrid cars and
battery-operated vehicles from 12.5 percent to 5 percent.
"Delhi
government is committed to reduce the air pollution in the city and
support eco-friendly mode of transport. This will bring relief to a
large number of people earning livelihood through e-rickshaws", said an
official statement from the Delhi government.
With the reduction in VAT, there would be a tax rebate of lakhs of rupees to the buyers of hybrid cars.
"It
is expected that a large number of consumers will shift from
petrol/diesel vehicles to hybrid vehicles, thereby bringing down
vehicular emission," the statement added.
It said the government was committed to making VAT rates the lowest in the country.
"In
the last financial year, VAT on timber was reduced from 12.5 percent to
5 percent. In the current financial year, the VAT on a number of
commodities including marble, sweets, namkeens, school bags, footwear
and readymade garments has been reduced significantly," it said.
