Delhi: Immediate Ban On Diesel Cars Older Than 10 Years

New Delhi: Diesel cars older than 10 years will be banned in the national capital. The National Green Tribunal have asked the transport authority of Delhi to immediately revoke the registration of diesel vehicles more than 10 years.

NGT has also asked the government to list the old vehicles and to hand over it to the Delhi Traffic Police for prosecution. Last year the tribunal had asked Delhi to ban vehicles whose "Pollution levels are at alarming levels and residents of Delhi deserve better." The tribunal had also said such vehicles coming from other states should not be allowed to enter Delhi.

Vehicles more than 15 years old are already banned in Delhi. The tribunal today asked the Centre what it was doing to promote hybrid vehicles and buses.
