Maruti Suzuki India saw a nearly 7% surge in its stock price following Uttar Pradesh's decision to waive registration levies on strong hybrid and plug-in vehicles. This move, aimed at promoting greener mobility choices alongside electric cars, is expected to reduce ownership costs by 10%. Maruti, already a leader in the strong hybrid category, stands to benefit significantly. This policy shift reflects a broader trend among states to incentivize alternative technologies like biofuels and hybrids, aiming to make them more attractive and cost-effective compared to traditional petrol vehicles.
