States should not cap road-tax benefits for EVs based on price: BMW India
BMW India has urged states not to cap electric vehicle road-tax benefits based on price. Its chief Hardeep Singh Brar says such caps could push luxury-car buyers to neighbouring states. That would weaken the shift to cleaner vehicles. If you are planning an EV purchase, check your state's current road-tax rules before you finalise the deal.
