      <link>https://english.aaj.tv/news/30323978/govt-likely-to-give-major-relief-on-hybrid-vehicles-duty</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The government has reduced the customs duty on the import of hybrid vehicles to a mere one per cent, shows Finance Bill. Earlier, the custom duty was 20%.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Below are the details for you&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Hybrid electric vehicles&lt;/strong&gt;: 1%&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“The concession shall be admissible to manufacturers on import of the same variant to be assembled / manufactured locally subject to certification and quota determination by the Engineering Development Board (EDB),” said the Finance Bill.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Earlier, the customs duty was 20% on such vehicles.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Hybrid electric vehicles&lt;/strong&gt;: 1%&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The concession would be applicable to gross vehicle weight (g.v.w.) not exceeding 5 tonnes and g.v.w. exceeding 5 tonnes but not exceeding 20 tonnes. Earlier, there was a 30% levy on them.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The customs duty has been kept at &lt;strong&gt;four per cent&lt;/strong&gt; for the following products&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Battery pack and its parts: Thermistor, resistor, capacitor, and bus bar.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Cooling system for battery packs including blower, tubes, hoses, pump&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Sensor hybrid vehicle battery voltage&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Inverter assembly with converter (power control unit)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Electric motor and generator for transaxle assembly&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Battery charging system/inlet connectors&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Hybrid system control unit / hybrid ECU&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Junction box&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The customs duty has been kept at &lt;strong&gt;three per cent&lt;/strong&gt; for the plug-in-hybrid electric vehicle&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Battery pack and its parts: Thermistor, resistor, capacitor, and bus bar.&lt;/li&gt;
