This incentive will be available for an initial period of <strong>two years<\/strong>, up to <strong>December 31, 2026<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Transport Minister Ponnam Prabhakar<\/strong> stated that under <strong>Government Order (GO) 41<\/strong>, the new <strong>EV policy<\/strong> will come into effect from <strong>Monday, November 18<\/strong>.
