The Finance Department of the Maharashtra government has issued a new government order (GR) for the purchase of new vehicles for government officials. This order has come into force since 17 September 2025 and all the older orders have been canceled. The reason for this decision is due to rising production costs, inflation and increase in prices of new technical vehicles with BS-VI standard.
New price limitations have been decided in this way (except GST, Vehicle Tax and Registration Fee)
- Governor, Chief Minister and Chief Justice of High Court: No price limit in vehicle selection.
- Minister and Chief Secretary: Up to ₹ 30 lakh.
- Additional Chief Secretary and Principal Secretary: Up to ₹ 25 lakh.
- State Information Commissioner and Member of Maharashtra Public Service Commission: up to ₹ 20 lakh.
- State Level Department of Department, Commissioner, Director General and Divisional Commissioner: Up to ₹ 17 lakh.
- District Magistrate, Commissioner of Police and Superintendent of Police: Up to ₹ 15 lakh.
- Other officials approved by the State Level Vehicle Review Committee: up to ₹ 12 lakh.
Electric vehicles (EVS) promoted
- Under EV Policy-2025, officials can buy electric vehicles up to 20 percent higher than their fixed limit.
- Field officers engaged in disaster management can buy multi -utility vehicles (MUV) up to ₹ 12 lakh.
Rules will also apply to all boards and corporations
The government has also made it clear that a new train can be purchased only when the old vehicle has been officially declared junk in the ‘Mahavahan’ system. The rules of this GR will also apply to all autonomous institutions, government companies, boards and corporations. The department heads will have to ensure that all the rules are followed properly.
