End-of-life vehicles may soon be refused fuel in Delhi to curb air pollution

Live Mint  

New Delhi: Do you still drive an end-of-life vehicle in the Delhi-national capital region? The government has set up a panel to craft a comprehensive strategy, potentially including banning commercial vehicles with engines below BS-VI from entering Delhi, to curb air pollution in Delhi-NCR, they said, requesting not to be identified. This comes against the backdrop of poor air quality in the national capital every year, especially during winter months, due to vehicular pollution, slow wind speed and other meteorological conditions and stubble burning. A consultative committee, formed last month and comprising officials from Niti Aayog, Union transport and highways ministry, petroleum ministry, Automotive Research Association of India, ICCT, and CAQM, is planning to ask petrol pumps in Delhi-NCR and neighbouring states to refuse fuel to people with end-of-life vehicles after detection through automatic number plate readers, stop commercial vehicles with an engine below BS-VI to enter Delhi, offer incentives for vehicle scraps to promote electric vehicles, and strictly enforce construction norms in neighbouring states such as Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan and Haryana. Once Delhi is covered, we will aim at covering NCR and states like UP, Haryana and Rajasthan as vehicular emissions and PM2.5 in air of adjoining states are affecting Delhi," the official said.
