55% Nationwide Hike in Technical Inspection Tariffs

Technical inspection tariffs have been increased nationwide by 55% in the current Iranian year (started March 21) after three years of remaining unchanged, Tehran’s Vehicle Technical Inspection Bureau announced.
Seyyed Navab Hosseini, the bureau chief, said technical inspection tests used to cost 220,000 rials ($1.6) since 2015. But after a 55% rise in prices, car owners now have to pay 370,000 rials ($2.7) for having their vehicles tested, ISNA reported.
The mandatory inspections check vehicles' conformity with emission standards and are conducted in two ways: normal and premium.
