The Tamil Nadu state government has officially revised the expenditure limits for the procurement of vehicles used by government officials and elected representatives. Under the new guidelines, a ceiling of ₹26 lakh has been set for the purchase of cars assigned to Ministers and other high-ranking Assembly functionaries. For other Members of the Legislative Assembly (MLAs), the government has implemented a lower cap of ₹15 lakh per vehicle.

This policy adjustment serves to standardize the allocation of public funds for transportation across different levels of the state government. By setting these specific monetary thresholds, the administration aims to regulate the procurement process for official fleets. While the announcement outlines the specific financial limits, it does not detail the specific makes or models of vehicles that fall within these price ranges, nor does it specify the timeline for when these new caps will take effect for existing vehicle replacements.
