KATHMANDU: Rastriya Prajatantra Party (RPP) Chair Rajendra Lingden has urged Finance Minister Barshaman Pun to reconsider the tax increase on electric vehicles.

During the budget deliberation in the House of Representatives on Tuesday, he expressed concern that the tax hike on electric vehicles contradicts the government’s previous commitments to the environment.
