Indian state Telangana has an extensive network of roadways, connecting it to different parts of the country. Its capital city, Hyderabad, has a sizeable vehicle population. The cost of a new vehicle in the state is determined after factoring in a lifetime road tax on the showroom price. This tax amount is used to improve the roads and infrastructure facility in the state. The Transport Department of the Government of Telangana State is tasked with enforcement of the Motor Vehicles Act and Rules, collection of taxes and fees, issuance of driving licences, registration of motor vehicles and granting permits to vehicles.
There are a number of factors that go into assessing the road tax payable by a vehicle owner in Telangana. Factors taken into account include fuel type, age of vehicle, make and manufacturer, engine capacity, length and width of vehicle, purpose for which it is used, place of manufacture, etc. To ensure that the taxation is standard across different vehicle categories, the department levies a tax equal to a certain percentage of the original vehicle price.
