Delhi govt to halt sale of fuel to overage vehicles within 2 weeks
Hindustan Times Gurugram
|April 15, 2025
The Delhi government is likely to implement its ambitious plan to halt the sale of fuel to so-called "end-of-life vehicles" (ELVs) within two weeks, officials familiar with the matter said, adding that only 15 of the city's 500 fuel stations remain to be equipped with Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) cameras which will enable the scheme's rollout.
NEW DELHI:
Announced earlier this year, the initiative aims to curb vehicular emissions by barring fuel sales to vehicles that have outlived their legal road life. However, experts have cautioned that the scheme could trigger widespread confusion and present enforcement challenges.
"Only around 15 fuel stations of the 500 fuel stations across the city are yet to get the required system installed such as cameras to identify ELVs as soon as they enter the fuel stations for refilling. Around 485 fuel stations, including CNG stations, have completed installation of the required ANPR systems. Only 15 remain. Once all stations are equipped, the rollout will begin," said a Delhi government official, who did not wish to be named.
