The government has taken a big decision to reduce pollution. From July 1, 2025, diesel vehicles older than 10 years and petrol vehicles older than 15 years will not get fuel at petrol pumps in Delhi. Therefore, Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) cameras are being installed at all petrol and CNG pumps in Delhi.

What are the rules?

In fact, in April 2025, the ‘Commission for Air Quality Management’ (CAQM) had directed the Delhi government to stop supplying fuel to all ‘End of Life’ (EoL) vehicles, i.e. vehicles that have crossed the specified age, from July 1. This has set a time limit of 10 years for diesel vehicles and 15 years for petrol vehicles.

Role of Camera

ANPR cameras will identify the age of the vehicle by reading its number plate. If a vehicle is found to be older than the specified time limit, it will not be given fuel.

What will happen next?

– Owners of old vehicles will have to get NOC or scrap the vehicle.
– Legal action can also be taken under the Motor Vehicles Act, 1989… The Transport Department has said in a public notice that if a vehicle is marked as an old vehicle by a camera or any other surveillance system, it will not get fuel. Apart from this, the vehicle owner will have to either get NOC for that vehicle.

Camera Installation Status

So far, cameras have been installed at almost all petrol and CNG pumps. There are only 10-15 pumps left, where this work is still pending. There are around 400 petrol pumps and 160 CNG stations in Delhi.

The Delhi government has issued new guidelines for the management of old vehicles. According to the information released by the Transport Department, the registration of diesel vehicles older than 10 years and petrol/CNG vehicles older than 15 years has been canceled in Delhi from 2024. The number of such ‘end of life’ vehicles is more than 55 lakh. The list of such vehicles has been put on the website of the Transport Department.

There is a complete ban on parking these vehicles in public places, including the area outside the house. In such a situation, vehicle owners have these options.

Drivers have 3 options

1. Park such vehicle only in your personal parking space, which should not be a shared parking space.

2. A ‘No Objection Certificate’ (NOC) will have to be obtained to take the vehicle out of the National Capital Region within one year of the expiry date of the vehicle.

3. Scrap the vehicle. For this, use any registered vehicle scrapping facility through ‘Voluntary Vehicle Scrapping Application’. Exemption in motor vehicle tax on registration of new vehicle can also be obtained through this process.

Drivers will be fined

If old vehicles are found running or parked in public places in Delhi, they can be confiscated, a fine of Rs 5,000 or 10,000 can be imposed. Apart from this, soon such vehicles will not even get fuel.

Talk of scrapping vehicles

If the vehicle is not taken out of Delhi within a month of the issuance of NOC, its parking will also be illegal. The Transport Department, Delhi Traffic Police, New Delhi Municipal Council, Delhi Municipal Corporation, and Delhi Cantonment Board can seize such vehicles. The information also states that it is in your interest to scrap such vehicles or get NOC and send them outside the NCR region.
