Over 25,000 vehicles not put to emission test, reveals audit report
The Morning Standard
|March 01, 2025
THE CAG report on Delhi's Environment has revealed that the capacity at VIU Jhuljhuli, Delhi's only automated fitness testing centre, was grossly under-utilised.
Data shows that of 38,807 vehicles inspected there between 2017 and 2020, as many as 25,540 didn't go through the emission test.
Reportedly, 45% were diesel-run vehicles, contributing to a significant share of emissions. The audit said 1,078 vehicles failed fitness tests between September 8, 2017 and February 7, 2019, because they didn't pass the emission test.
These vehicles failed to appear for a re-test. DoT's database claimed that 1,068 of them were e-tested and issued fitness certificates at VIU Jhuljhuli itself.
