The government plans to levy a “green cess” of ₹800-1000 on conventional two-wheelers to subsidise the prices of electric bikes, Economic Times reports. “Today, the price differential between a petrol and an electric two-wheeler stands at ₹55,000-60,000. The idea is to reduce this gap as much as possible by levying a small cess on vehicles which are polluting,” the publication quotes a senior unidentified official as saying. India is the world’s largest two-wheeler market, with sales exceeding 2 crore units a year. The country plans to have 30% electric vehicles by 2030
