Don’t be surprised if you see posters stating “Fuel will not be dispensed to ‘end of life’ vehicles” at fuel stations in Delhi starting today. In its effort to curb air pollution, the Delhi government has enforced a fuel ban for ‘end-of-life’ or overage vehicles, that is, petrol vehicles aged 15 years or older and diesel vehicles aged 10 years or older.
Vehicles are the top polluters in the national capital Delhi, accounting for more than half (51 per cent) of the pollution from all local emission sources, according to an analysis by the Centre for Science and Environment (CSE), released in November 2024.
