Madhya Pradesh Two-Wheeler Road Tax & RTO Charges — 2026 Rates

A petrol two-wheeler in Madhya Pradesh attracts road tax of 8% of the ex-showroom price under the MP RTO, with no price banding. On a ₹1,20,000 two-wheeler that is ₹9,600. On top of that you pay a ₹600 registration fee and ₹1000 for the HSRP plate — ₹1,600 in fixed charges — plus ₹1500 for hypothecation if the vehicle is financed.

No — Madhya Pradesh does not offer a blanket EV exemption. Electric cars are taxed at 0% at this price against 10% for petrol, so the saving is real but partial. Registration and HSRP charges apply unchanged.

Madhya Pradesh charges 10% on a ₹12,00,000 petrol car and 12% on the diesel equivalent — a difference of about ₹24,000. Diesel is taxed higher in most states as an emissions measure.

Yes. Road tax is a state levy, so re-registering a vehicle in Madhya Pradesh means paying Madhya Pradesh road tax on the vehicle's depreciated value, and claiming a refund of the unused portion from the state you left.

Yes, through the central Vahan portal (vahan.parivahan.gov.in), which handles MP RTO payments. For a new vehicle the dealer normally pays road tax on your behalf and builds it into the on-road price — worth checking the breakup line by line, because it is the single largest addition over ex-showroom.
