Industry Lobby Seeks GST Relief for Range-Extended Electric Vehicles

A big business group in India wants the government to make it cheaper to buy a special type of hybrid car called a REEV.

These cars use both electricity and a small engine to charge the battery.

Right now, hybrids are taxed more than electric cars, which makes them more expensive.

Some car companies want the government to give discounts to people who buy hybrids, but other companies disagree.

The business group says REEVs should be taxed the same as electric cars because they mostly run on electricity.
