On petrol cars with standard engines with capacities below 1,000 cubic  centimeters the effective total tax rate will go up from the current 95  percent to 120 percent. Between 1000 to 1,600 cc the effective rate will go up from 119 to 128  percent. On three wheelers the effective rate will go up from 38 percent  to 50 percent. On hybrid cars with engines below 2,000 cubic centimeters total duties will go up from 38 percent close to 50 percent. Deputy director general of customs Ajantha Dias said an excise duty was  raised by 8.0 percent on small hybrids but it will take up the total  duties by a larger amount when added together. On hybrids between 2,000 to 3000 cc duty will go up close to 75 percent and above 3,000 cc to 100 percent.                                                                  In the past two months about 3,000 hybrids have been imported to the country, Dias said.
