Maharashtra Orders Toll Exemption for EVs
Maharashtra Government Told To Stop Toll Tax Collection For EV Cars · deccanchronicle.com

The Maharashtra government has been told to stop charging electric vehicles (EVs) toll fees on certain highways.

The Speaker of the Maharashtra Assembly said that EVs should not have to pay tolls and that any money already collected should be given back.

This is because the government had already decided that EVs should not pay tolls, but the rule wasn't being followed.

The Speaker also said that there aren't enough fast-charging stations for EVs and that the government needs to fix this quickly.

The government promised to follow these instructions and make the necessary changes.
