Road tax in Haryana for new cars in 2026 applies slab rates across all HR districts including Gurgaon, Faridabad, Panchkula, and other urban centres. Haryana's road tax structure is marginally higher than Delhi but remains competitive among northern states, making it an important consideration for buyers in the NCR region weighing options between Haryana and Delhi registration.
As of April 18, 2026, Haryana road tax applies slab rates from 5% to 8% depending on vehicle value, with electric vehicles enjoying road tax exemption under the Haryana Electric Vehicle Policy. The uniform application of rates across all Haryana districts simplifies the calculation regardless of which RTO processes the registration.
Haryana Road Tax Slabs for Cars
Haryana road tax for new passenger cars follows slab rates based on vehicle value. Cars priced up to INR 6 lakh attract road tax at 5%, vehicles between INR 6 to 10 lakh at 6%, vehicles between INR 10 to 15 lakh at 7%, and vehicles above INR 15 lakh at 8%. These rates apply uniformly across all 20+ Haryana districts including Gurgaon, Faridabad, Panchkula, Hisar, Rohtak, and Panipat.
For a car priced at INR 12 lakh, Haryana road tax amounts to INR 84,000 at 7%, while Delhi charges INR 72,000 at 6%. The INR 12,000 difference per vehicle makes Delhi marginally more attractive for mid-range vehicle buyers, though the difference is modest compared to the tax variance with southern states.
Gurgaon and Faridabad Road Tax
Gurgaon and Faridabad are among the most common registration locations in Haryana due to the concentration of automotive retail and commercial activity in these cities. Both cities fall under the same Haryana road tax slab system with no additional municipal charges on top of the state rate.
The road tax for a luxury SUV priced at INR 40 lakh in Gurgaon amounts to INR 3.2 lakh at 8%, compared to INR 3.2 lakh in Delhi also at 8%. For premium vehicles, Haryana and Delhi converge on tax rates, making other factors like insurance availability and service network more relevant to the purchase decision.
Electric Vehicle Road Tax in Haryana
Haryana provides road tax exemption for electric vehicles under the Haryana Electric Vehicle Policy. The exemption period and conditions are set by the state government and apply to all EVs registered in Haryana, whether in Gurgaon, Faridabad, or any other district.
The EV exemption combined with Haryana's already-competitive road tax rates makes the state attractive for electric vehicle purchases. For an electric SUV priced at INR 30 lakh, the road tax exemption saves INR 2.4 lakh over the exemption period, in addition to the 5% GST advantage and FAME-II subsidy available on electric vehicles.
Comparison with Delhi Road Tax
Comparing Haryana and Delhi road tax reveals marginal differences for most vehicle categories. For vehicles up to INR 6 lakh, both states charge 5%, creating identical tax burdens. For vehicles above INR 15 lakh, both states converge at 8%, making the tax impact identical for premium vehicle buyers.
The slight Haryana advantage exists for vehicles in the INR 6 to 15 lakh bracket where Delhi's 6% rate is marginally lower than Haryana's 7% rate. However, this difference of 1% on vehicles in this range amounts to only INR 6,000 to INR 15,000, which is unlikely to be the deciding factor in most vehicle purchase decisions.
