Maharashtra’s EV Policy 2025 Offers Toll Waivers and Purchase Incentives

07 May 2025 CW Team

The Maharashtra government has announced sweeping incentives under its Electric Vehicle Policy 2025 to boost EV adoption, including full toll waivers for electric four-wheelers and buses on key expressways such as the Mumbai–Pune Expressway, Atal Setu, and Samruddhi Mahamarg.

A 50 per cent toll concession will also apply across highways managed by the Maharashtra Public Works Department. The initiative aims to lower operational costs for EV users and encourage a shift away from internal-combustion vehicles.

Buyers will benefit from full exemptions on motor vehicle tax, registration, and renewal fees. A ten per cent discount on the base price of electric two-wheelers, three-wheelers, non-transport four-wheelers, and buses will remain available through 2030.

The policy also includes viability gap funding of Rs one Mn for public charging station operators, and mandates that sixty to seventy per cent of charging space be reserved for smaller EVs. Measures have been introduced to expand public charging access in housing societies and at bus depots.

Maharashtra’s approach reflects a long-term strategy to strengthen the EV ecosystem and meet national carbon reduction goals.
