Models Affected

The new policy is applicable on strong hybrid cars such as the Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder, Toyota Innova Hycross, Toyota Camry, Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara, Maruti Suzuki Invicto, Lexus ES300h and Honda City e:HEV. It remains to be seen to what timeline the UP government will extend the subsidy. Furthermore, it would be interesting to see if other states also take notice and waive off road tax on hybrid vehicles. 

The introduction of the subsidy on road tax should boost sales of hybrid vehicles in Uttar Pradesh, thereby curbing the environmental impact of ICE powered vehicles. It’s no secret that hybrid vehicles emit much less than conventional petrol and diesel vehicles.
