The most important methods for receiving incentives are:

Buy-Incentive Measures: The consumer receives a direct discount on the price of the electric vehicle

Coupons: Financial inducement with a future reimbursement

Interest Inducements: A discount on the interest rate is provided while obtaining a loan.

Road tax exemption: A waiver of the road tax road tax is not charged at the time of purchase.

There is no registration cost required: A one-time registration cost that applies to the purchase of a new car is waived.

Income tax benefit: A reduction in the amount of taxes that a person must pay to the government. Scrapping incentives: On de-registering outdated gasoline and diesel vehicles, provided

Others: You can also take advantage of incentives like interest-free loans, top-up subsidies, special incentives on electric three-wheelers, etc.
