No GST Reduction on Strong Hybrid Vehicles Says Finance Minister, Nirmala Sitharaman
The Finance Minister of India Nirmala Sitharaman cleared the rumors on the reduction of GST on Strong Hybrid Vehicles like Toyota Innova Hycross, and Honda City Hybrid. This decision is expected to provide a boost to the electric vehicle (EV) sector, as it will help to maintain a competitive pricing environment for EVs compared to hybrid vehicles. The news is quite surprising as Nitin Gadkari, the transport minister himself requested to reduce the GST on Hybrid Vehicles from 28% to 12%.
