Monthly sales of strong hybrid cars in Uttar Pradesh have more than doubled following the state government’s decision to scrap the registration tax on such vehicles from July 5. Electric car sales in the state, in contrast, have stayed largely flat.

According to data from Jato Dynamics, monthly electric car sales in UP were 413, 496, 355, 430, and 387 units between April and August. But strong hybrid car sales jumped from 228, 239, and 390 units in April, May, and June to 895 in July and 996 in August.
