Delhi Cracks Down on Pollution: BS-VI Entry Ban and Fuel Restrictions Implemented

New Delhi, [Date] – In a bid to combat rising air pollution, the Delhi government has implemented a stringent set of measures, effectively barring older, more polluting vehicles from entering the national capital. Effective today, vehicles that do not adhere to Bharat Stage VI (BS-VI) emission standards are prohibited from entering Delhi.

In addition to the entry ban, Delhi fuel stations are now under orders to refuse service to vehicles unable to produce a valid Pollution Under Control (PUC) certificate. This measure aims to ensure vehicles on the road are regularly tested and maintained to minimize harmful emissions.

These measures come as Delhi grapples with seasonal air quality concerns, particularly during the winter months. The government hopes that by targeting older, more polluting vehicles, it can significantly reduce harmful emissions and improve the city’s air quality for its residents.

The initiatives are expected to face some resistance from vehicle owners, but officials have emphasized the importance of prioritizing public health and environmental protection. Further announcements regarding enforcement and potential exemptions are expected in the coming days.
