When you think of Telangana, you may automatically picture the bustling city of Hyderabad with its swanky IT officdes and highrise buildings, but in reality, over one-fourth of the state's total area is covered by dense forests.
The beauty of the state is not just limited to lush green forests or paddy fields; there are plenty of forts, magnificent palaces, picturesque lakes, and waterfalls to explore.
If you are a vehicle-owning resident in Telangana’s Ranga-reddy or are planning to move there long-term to work, you will have to pay Telangana Road Tax in accordance with the Motor Vehicles Act of 1988. Interested to know more? Read on!

Telangana has an impressive road network of approximately 27,000 km. With its capital city drawing huge crowds as its tech sector grows, the growing influx of tourists, and to meet the demands of its vast agricultural industry, Telangana has to constantly expand and maintain its road network.
That is why every vehicle owner in the state is liable to pay the Ranga-reddy Road tax, which aids the government in maintaining its roads.
The TS road tax has to be paid once at the time of purchasing your new vehicle.
The road tax payment is mandatory, similar to other mandatory rules like holding a valid Driving Licence, buying a bike/car insurance for your new vehicle, etc.
It allows you to use and enjoy Telangana's road network for the next 15 years stress-free.
The percentage of the Telangana Road Tax is determined by the Telangana Motor Vehicle Taxation Act, which considers various factors such as the age of the vehicle, its make and manufacturer, the fuel it runs on, a vehicle's dimensions, engine capacity, its purpose, etc.
The road tax in Ranga-reddy is levied equal to a percentage of the vehicle's original cost, ensuring taxation is consistent across all vehicle categories.
Apart from the one-time tax you pay, the State of Telangana also levies a Green Tax on older vehicles. Owners of bikes and cars older than 15 years have to pay an annual Green Tax of Rs 1,000 and Rs 5,000, respectively.
Transport vehicles, on the other hand, have to pay a Green Tax of Rs 7,000 annually after they are more than 7 years old.
The Ranga-reddy road tax for two-wheelers is calculated based on how much time has passed since a two-wheeler was first registered.
Age of the vehicle/Number of years since the vehicle was first registered | Road tax to be paid (% of the original cost of the vehicle) |
---|---|
New | 9% |
Less than 2 years | 8% |
Between 2 and 3 years | 7% |
Between 3 and 4 years | 6% |
Between 4 and 5 years | 5% |
Between 5 and 6 years | 4% |
Between 6 and 7 years | 3.5% |
Between 7 and 8 years | 3% |
Between 8 and 9 years | 2.5% |
Between 9 and 10 years | 2% |
Between 10 and 11 years | 1.5% |
More than 11 years | 1% |
The Ranga-reddy road tax for three-wheelers is calculated using the same principle as for two-wheelers. The tax slabs for them are as follows:
Age of the vehicle/Number of years since the vehicle was first registered | Road tax to be paid for three-wheelers that cost less than 10 lakhs(% of the original cost of the vehicle) |
---|---|
New | 12% |
Less than 2 years | 11% |

Between 9 and 10 years | 6.5% |
Between 10 and 11 years | 6% |

The Ranga-reddy road tax calculation for four-wheelers uses the same principle based on the age of the vehicle as before with one minor difference. There are different taxation rates for vehicles that cost less or more than 10 lakhs:
Age of the vehicle/Number of years since the vehicle was first registered | Road tax to be paid for vehicles that cost less than Rs 10 lakhs(% of the original cost of the vehicle) | Road tax to be paid for vehicles that cost more than Rs 10 lakhs(% of the original cost of the vehicle) |
