Delhi Fuel Ban for End-of-Life Vehicles Delayed! New Rule to Kick in From Nov 1

The directive to prohibit fueling of end-of-life vehicles in Delhi has been postponed to November 1, 2025, following discussions at the recent meeting held by the air quality regulatory body.
This decision followed operational challenges flagged by Environment Minister Manjinder Singh Sirsa, including ANPR system glitches and cross-border fuel misuse concerns.
CAQM will enforce the ban simultaneously in Delhi and five neighboring high-vehicle-density districts, while other enforcement like vehicle impounding will continue.
Sirsa called the deferral a 'major relief for the city' and noted the absence of an authorized scrapping center, despite nearly 80,000 vehicles being marked scrapped recently.
The postponement allows authorities additional time to address infrastructure gaps and develop practical solutions, balancing environmental goals with public concerns.
