Steep hike in transport ICE vehicle registration fees proposed

In order to boost the buying and use of electric vehicles in the commercial vehicle as well as private passenger vehicle segments, the government is proposing to hike the fees for issue and renewal of registration of vehicles powered by ICE (internal Combustion Engine). Moreover, the government also proposes to increase the fees for testing of commercial vehicles for fitness

The renewal of certificate of fitness in respect of transport vehicles older than 15 years has been proposed to be conducted every six months from the current requirement of testing once a year. In addition, the fees have been increased further for conducting fitness test and grant and renewal of certificate of fitness for transport vehciles.

Unlike in the case of private vehicles for personal use where the vehicles have to go for a fitness test after 15 years (rules for Delhi NCR are different as this region does not permit petrol vehicles older than 15 years and diesel vehicles older than 10 years to ply on roads), transport or commercial vehicles will have to go for a fitness test every two years up to eight years of age and every one year for vehicles older than eight years. But once the transport vehicle completes 15 years, it needs to go for a fitness test every six months.
