Andhra Pradesh: Motor Vehicle Tax exempted for Isuzu vehicles

The Government of Andhra Pradesh has announced that buyers of Isuzu vehicles will be exempted from payment of Motor Vehicle Tax in the state. This exemption will cover all Isuzu vehicles purchased in Andhra Pradesh from 18th Nov 2016 till 31st March 2021.

Isuzu Motors has an automobile manufacturing plant in Sri City, Andhra Pradesh, which produces all its vehicles sold in the country. The decision to exempt Motor Vehicle Tax on Isuzu vehicles is being seen as a step to motivate other manufacturers to set up their production facilities in the state.

According to the government notification, the Isuzu D-MAX V-Cross and other upcoming passenger vehicles from the automaker will get lifetime tax exemption. On the other hand, commercial customers buying the D-MAX S-CAB and Regular Cab variants will get an exemption from paying the quarterly road taxes currently applicable.

Isuzu has dealerships in 3 cities of Andhra Pradesh - Vishakhapatnam, Rajahmundry and Tirupati. The company's Sri City plant has an annual capacity of 50,000 units that can be scaled up to 1,20,000 units in the future.
