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

DELHI AND NATIONAL CAPITAL REGION (NCR), INDIA, JUL 8 – The fuel ban targets diesel vehicles over 10 years and petrol vehicles over 15 years to reduce pollution, with about 62 lakh end-of-life vehicles in Delhi-NCR affected, officials said.

  • 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.
