Starting December 1, 2025, the Uttarakhand government will begin collecting a green tax from vehicles entering the state from other states, officials announced. The move aims to control vehicular pollution, protect the environment, and promote cleanliness across the hill state.

According to the transport department, the tax will vary by vehicle type. Small passenger vehicles will be charged ₹80, small goods carriers ₹250, buses ₹140, and trucks between ₹120 and ₹700, depending on their weight.

Revenue collected from the tax may be used to fund measures to reduce air pollution. The initiative comes as the state prepares for an influx of tourists and vehicles during the winter season, when many visitors travel to Uttarakhand from neighbouring states.
