Odisha extends EV policy to December 31, 2026, keeping 100% road tax and registration fee waivers

Our read

Odisha's full road tax and registration fee waivers run to December 31, 2026 and support EV demand, with the next real test being whether the state renews or reshapes the policy before the deadline.

For operators

Odisha EV dealers can keep marketing the full road tax and registration fee waiver plus purchase subsidies through December 31, 2026, so they can plan inventory and promotions without a mid-year policy cliff, while preparing for a late-2026 expiry rush and possible demand drop-off.
