<h1>Government raises vehicle tax cap to Rs 30 lakh, increases rates for diesel cars and goods carriers</h1> The state government revised its one-time vehicle tax structure effective July 1, increasing the tax cap from Rs 20 lakh to Rs 30 lakh. High-end cars exceeding Rs 20 lakh will cost at least Rs 10 lakh more. Petrol cars face 11-13% tax rates based on price brackets, while diesel cars attract 13-15% rates. Imported vehicles and company-registered vehicles pay a flat 20% tax. CNG/LNG vehicles see a 1% tax increase across all brackets. Goods carriers will now be taxed at 7% of price rather than weight, significantly increasing costs. Electric vehicles remain tax-exempt.
