Ban on old vehicles in Delhi NCR: What does the future hold?

Abstract

The National Green Tribunal banned diesel vehicles older than 10 years and petrol vehicles older than 15 years in Delhi NCR in 2015. Following the ban, owners can either have their vehicles scrapped at authorised units or re-register them in states with no such ban. Despite criticism over the ban’s comprehensive nature, it was imposed due to rising pollution concerns and the need to replace old vehicles with modern ones. However, India still lacks a distinct scrappage policy creating uncertainty among vehicle owners. – AI-generated abstract.
