Bangladesh’s proposed national budget for the 2026–27 fiscal year, presented by Finance Minister Amir Khasru Mahmud Chowdhury, includes significant tax changes aimed at promoting electric vehicles (EVs). The proposal raises total taxes on petrol and diesel cars from 132.36 percent to 155.88 percent, while reducing duties on EVs and plug-in hybrid vehicles. For EVs priced up to USD 25,000, total tax would drop from 93 percent to 64 percent, and for those up to USD 50,000, to 80 percent. Import duties on EV chargers and charging stations would be reduced from 39.75 percent to zero.
The budget also proposes full tax exemptions for electric buses used by educational institutions and extends these benefits until 2030. Local manufacturers of electric buses, trucks, and e-bikes would receive duty waivers on raw materials and components. Additionally, the government aims to encourage domestic production of lithium-ion and sodium-ion batteries by offering tax exemptions on imported materials until 2030.
The overall revenue target for the 2026–27 fiscal year is set at Tk 6.95 trillion, up from Tk 5.54 trillion in the current year.
