<h1>Maharashtra Legislature Passes Bill Increasing Vehicle Taxes; 6% Tax on EVs Over Rs 30 Lakh</h1> The Maharashtra legislature approved the Maharashtra Motor Vehicles Tax (Amendment) Bill 2025, aiming to increase vehicle taxes for additional revenue. The bill, which amends the Motor Vehicles Act 1958, faced opposition for taxing electric vehicles (EVs) over Rs 30 lakh, potentially affecting the middle class. The Transport Minister clarified that the tax targets vehicles not typically used by the middle class. The bill proposes a 6% tax on EVs above Rs 30 lakh, a 1% increase for CNG and LPG vehicles, and a 7% tax on construction and light goods vehicles. A new parking policy is also planned.
