Electric and strong hybrid car sales in Uttar Pradesh (UP) slowed on Tuesday as dealers and automakers awaited clarity from the state government after the road tax exemption expired on October 13, Business Standard has learnt.
 
The slowdown follows the end of the initial three-year period of UP’s Electric Vehicle Manufacturing & Mobility Policy.
