The Delhi Transport Department, in a public notice, said that only BS-VI-compliant diesel vehicles and those powered by CNG, LNG, or electricity will be allowed entry.

The curbs, aimed at reducing vehicular emissions—one of the main sources of pollution during Delhi’s winter months—will apply to all categories of light, medium, and heavy goods vehicles. Vehicles registered within Delhi and meeting the BS-VI standards will remain exempt.
