Mumbai, September 5, 2025 – The Maharashtra government’s Electric Vehicle Policy 2025 introduces a groundbreaking toll exemption for electric four-wheelers and buses on key expressways like the Mumbai-Pune Expressway and Atal Setu, aiming to boost eco-friendly transport and cut emissions by 1 million tonnes by 2030. With a ₹1,993 crore budget and incentives like subsidies and tax waivers, the policy promises significant savings—up to ₹1 lakh annually for frequent commuters. However, early implementation stumbles, with EV owners reporting persistent toll charges despite the August 22 rollout, highlighting a gap between policy ambition and execution that the state must urgently address.
