Haryana Daily Current Affairs: 05/07/2026

Haryana Schemes & Policies in News 🏛️

The Haryana Government has recently approved a transformative mandate for the National Capital Region (NCR). Starting January 2026, all cab aggregators, delivery fleets, and e-commerce companies must transition their fleet to only CNG, Electric Vehicles (EVs), or other clean-fuel alternatives. To facilitate this transition, the state is considering a complete waiver on road tax and registration fees for EVs. Furthermore, the cabinet has greenlit a significant social policy allowing the leasing of Panchayat land to Women Self-Help Groups (SHGs) specifically for dairy farming, aiming to boost rural entrepreneurship and women's financial independence.
