The new GST rates were proposed under the Union Budget 2019 by Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman to the GST Council. The new rates were approved late last month. The new GST rates come as part of the government's push towards faster adoption of electric vehicles. The lower rates coupled with the FAME II subsidy are intended to make electric vehicles more affordable for mass market adoption. The reduction in the GST rates will affect other electric vehicles on sale in India including the likes of the Okinawa scooters, Revolt Motors and more.
