Delhi-NCR has rolled out GRAP‑3 emission norms, permitting only vehicles that meet the stipulated standards while barring non‑compliant ones.
The Delhi government has announced the activation of GRAP‑3, a set of emission‑based restrictions that now apply throughout the National Capital Region. The new framework classifies vehicles based on their compliance with prescribed pollution standards, allowing only those that meet the criteria to operate within the region.
Transport authorities have issued a detailed list of exemptions, which includes emergency services, certain public‑transport fleets and vehicles that meet the latest emission norms. Vehicles failing to satisfy the GRAP‑3 standards are prohibited from entering Delhi‑NCR roads until they are upgraded or replaced.
Commuters and fleet owners are urged to consult the official notifications to verify the status of their vehicles and avoid penalties. The enforcement is expected to improve air quality across the capital region by curbing the movement of high‑polluting vehicles.
