Gujarat Offers Up to 50% Motor Vehicle Tax Concession for Scrapping Old Cars

The Gujarat government has unveiled a new scheme that will provide up to a 50% concession on motor vehicle tax for owners who scrap their old vehicles and buy new ones. The concession is aimed at encouraging the replacement of older, more polluting cars with newer models. Under the scheme, the tax payable on the new vehicle will be reduced by up to half. The government has not yet released detailed guidelines on eligibility, application procedures or the exact timeline for implementation. Officials say the initiative is part of a broader effort to modernise the state’s vehicle fleet and reduce environmental impact.
