The Sindh government has extended tax and registration incentives for electric vehicles (EVs) for another two years as part of its efforts to promote cleaner and more sustainable transportation across the province.
The decision was taken during a Sindh cabinet meeting chaired by Chief Minister Syed Murad Ali Shah at the Chief Minister House. The cabinet approved a package of incentives covering the registration and taxation of non-commercial electric vehicles.
The revised incentives will remain effective from May 30, 2026, to May 29, 2028.
Sindh Electric Vehicle Tax and Registration Rates
Under the approved package, the registration fee for electric vehicles will remain fixed at Rs1,000.
The annual motor vehicle tax for non-commercial electric vehicles will continue at Rs500, while electric motorcycles will be subject to a one-time lifetime motor vehicle tax of Rs500.
The Sindh cabinet also approved a Rs5,000 luxury tax for electric vehicles with an engine capacity of 2,000cc or above, or an equivalent electric vehicle category.
In addition, the government has fixed the late registration penalty for electric vehicles at Rs1,000.
The cabinet approved the proposal presented by the Excise, Taxation and Narcotics Control Department concerning the continuation of EV-related tax and registration concessions.
Government Seeks to Boost EV Adoption
Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah said promoting electric vehicles would help Sindh reduce its dependence on imported fuel while supporting cleaner transportation.
He said greater adoption of EVs could also reduce carbon emissions and urban air pollution, particularly in major cities.
According to the chief minister, extending tax relief is part of the provincial government’s broader strategy to encourage electric vehicle adoption and support investment in the electric mobility sector.
The incentives are also intended to make EV ownership more affordable by keeping registration and annual taxation costs relatively low compared with conventional vehicles.
EV Incentives to Continue Across Sindh
The Sindh government said continued tax and registration concessions would encourage residents to shift toward electric vehicles and contribute to the development of a cleaner transport system.
With the incentives now extended until May 29, 2028, buyers of eligible electric cars and motorcycles will continue to benefit from reduced registration and taxation costs during the two-year period.
The provincial government expects wider use of electric vehicles to reduce fuel consumption, lower emissions and improve air quality in urban areas.
