Delhi and the National Capital Region will now enforce pollution control measures on all BS-IV and older vehicles, ending the previous exemption for these cars.
Delhi’s pollution control authorities have announced that BS-IV and older vehicles will no longer be exempt from the region’s stringent emission regulations. The decision follows a review of the existing framework, which had allowed older cars to avoid certain compliance checks. Under the new policy, owners of such vehicles will be required to undergo regular emission testing and may face penalties for non‑compliance. The move aims to curb air pollution in the capital and its surrounding districts.
