Haryana Grants 100 Per Cent MV Tax Exemption For Clean Fleet

30 Jun 2026 CW Team

The Haryana government has announced a Motor Vehicle tax (MV tax) exemption for environment-friendly trucks and buses in the National Capital Region (NCR) districts. An official notification by the Transport Department on June 24 stated that a 100 per cent exemption will apply to the purchase of new BS-VI compliant vehicles, including electric and CNG models. The measure targets commercial fleets registered in Haryana's NCR districts to stimulate transition to cleaner mobility.

The notification provides a 50 per cent MV tax exemption for used vehicles that meet the same emission norms. The exemption will remain valid for 10 years from the date of first registration, offering long-term relief for fleet operators. To qualify, applicants must own a transport truck or bus registered within Haryana's NCR districts and replace a vehicle that complies with BS-IV or older emission standards.

The policy mandates proper scrapping or disposal of older vehicles and distinguishes by emission category. BS-III and older trucks and buses must be scrapped at a Registered Vehicle Scrapping Facility (RVSF) in the state, while BS-IV vehicles may be scrapped at an RVSF or sold outside the NCR in areas not covered under the National Clean Air Programme (NCAP). The replacement vehicle, new or pre-owned, must be purchased and registered within Haryana's NCR districts and comply with BS-VI, electric, CNG, or higher emission standards.

The notification also waives outstanding MV tax liabilities pending for more than one year for BS-IV or older trucks and buses registered in the NCR districts, extending relief to owners. The initiative is expected to accelerate the phase-out of older high-emission commercial vehicles and promote their replacement with cleaner alternatives, contributing to improved air quality in the NCR and aligning with the state's environmental objectives. Authorities presented the measures as part of efforts to incentivise cleaner transport and reduce vehicular emissions.
