New Delhi Says Fuel Ban on Old Vehicles Not Feasible
- Starting July 1, Delhi implements a ban on petrol vehicles over 15 years and diesel vehicles over 10 years, enforced through ANPR cameras at fuel stations.
- Following a 2018 Supreme Court ban and NGT directives, Delhi’s pollution prompted a policy to restrict overage vehicles based on age, enforced via ANPR systems at fuel stations.
- ANPR cameras at 500 petrol stations detect overage vehicles, with Rs 10,000 fines for four-wheelers and Rs 5,000 for two-wheelers, but enforcement is paused due to operational issues.
- Following vehicle seizures, authorities paused enforcement citing practical challenges and plan policy revisions amid 80 EOL vehicle seizures and 98 notices issued.
- From November, the fuel ban will expand to satellite cities in the NCR, with plans for a tech-supported, region-wide policy to address enforcement challenges.
