Hyderabad, Aug. 9 -- With a marked spike in registration of electric vehicles (EVs) following a tax waiver, the Telangana government is looking at extending the incentive beyond the deadline.

Before the tax exemption was introduced, the state recorded 47,730 EV registrations, according to the Times of India. The exemption on life tax and quarterly tax was introduced in November 2024, and registrations rose, with 91,572 EVs registered in the 2025-26 financial year alone.

The transport department is working on a proposal to extend the tax concession and is likely to submit it to the state government in a couple of days, says the report. As of now, the scheme covers EVs purchased up to this December.
