The Supreme Court on October 29, 2018 prohibited
the plying of 15-year-old petrol and 10-year-old diesel vehicles in the
Delhi-NCR (national capital region) in a move to deal with the prevailing
"very critical" and "horrible" pollution situation in
Delhi-NCR
A bench of Justices Madan B Lokur, S Abdul Nazeer
and Deepak Gupta also clarified that such vehicles would be seized, if found on
roads in Delhi-NCR.
The Transport Departments of NCR will immediately
announce that all the diesel vehicles more than 10 years old and petrol
vehicles more than 15 years old shall not ply in NCR in terms of the order of
the National Green Tribunal dated April 7, 2015 that was challenged in the
court and the civil appeal was dismissed.
