Gujarat Announces Up to 50% Motor Tax Rebate on New Vehicle Purchases

Gujarat's state administration has introduced a new incentive that reduces the motor tax payable on brand‑new vehicles by as much as 50 percent. The scheme, announced through an official press release, is intended to make vehicle ownership more affordable and boost sales for manufacturers and dealers operating in the state. While the exact eligibility criteria and the timeline for implementation were not detailed in the announcement, officials indicated that the rebate will apply to all categories of new passenger and commercial vehicles registered in Gujarat. Industry analysts expect the measure to generate a noticeable uptick in registrations, especially as the state seeks to recover from recent slowdown in auto sales. The government has urged prospective buyers to consult local transport offices for further information on how to claim the benefit.
