The Haryana government has announced significant financial incentives for owners looking to replace old diesel vehicles with cleaner alternatives in the National Capital Region. In a cabinet meeting chaired by Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini, authorities approved major policy changes aimed at reducing pollution and modernizing transportation fleets.
The new initiative provides 100% exemption from motor vehicle tax for individuals purchasing new BS-VI or stricter emission standard vehicles, including electric (EV) and CNG trucks and buses. This tax break will remain in effect for a period of 10 years. Additionally, those who buy newly registered vehicles will also benefit from reduced registration fees.
For used vehicle purchases, the government has introduced a 50% motor vehicle tax exemption on BS-VI or stricter emission standard used trucks and buses powered by electric or CNG systems. This benefit also extends for a decade. The policy further includes loan waiver provisions for vehicle owners who participate in the replacement scheme alongside their old vehicles.
The Governor of Haryana has additionally approved loan waivers for holders of long-term dues exceeding one year on old BS-IV or pre-emission standard trucks and buses registered in NCR districts. These combined measures target the replacement of 93,458 trucks and 16,329 buses currently operating with outdated emission systems.
Environmental experts view this policy as a strategic step toward improving air quality in the densely populated NCR region. By encouraging the shift to cleaner vehicles, the government aims to reduce harmful emissions significantly. The 10-year duration of the incentives is designed to provide sustained support for fleet operators while ensuring long-term environmental benefits.
The policy framework works through the National Capital Region Planning Board’s assistance program. It specifically targets thereplacement of old trucks and buses that do not meet current environmental standards, offering financial relief to help operators transition to more sustainable transportation options.
Transport department officials state that the initiative could serve as a model for other states grappling with air quality challenges. The combination of tax relief, registration benefits, and debt restructuring creates a comprehensive support package for vehicle modernization across commercial transportation sectors.
