Supreme Court On Of Old Petrol And Diesel Vehicles In National Capital Region Latest News

Supreme Court on Tuesday observed that no coercive action is to be taken against the owners of 10-year-old diesel and 15-year-old petrol vehicles in the National Capital Region.

Supreme Court issued notice to the Centre and the Commission for Air Quality Management (CAQM) on the plea of Delhi government challenging the blanket ban on diesel vehicles older than 10 years and petrol vehicles older than 15 years.

Reacting to the Supreme Court order, Delhi Minister Manjinder Singh Sirsa said, "This is a big relief for the people of Delhi-NCR. The Delhi government had filed a plea before the Supreme Court, arguing that the 'end of life' for a vehicle should be determined not by its age, but by the pollution it emits and the number of kilometres it has run.”

“Chief Minister Rekha Gupta fought this battle on behalf of the people of Delhi. We hope that in the days to come, we will be able to bring permanent relief to the residents of Delhi-NCR," he added.
