New Delhi: With the rising pollution level in the national capital, the Delhi government has implemented measures including action against the old vehicles. Delhi Transport Minister, Kailash Gehlot on Monday informed over one lakh diesel vehicles have been de-registered in the city. Most of these banned vehicles were more than ten years old.


The transport minister said that the vehicles which are de-registered in Delhi can be registered again in those states where diesel vehicles more than 10-years-old are allowed to operate.

Apart from diesel vehicles, petrol vehicles older than 15 years are also being de-registered, according to news agency ANI report.


Public transport in Delhi is running at one-third of its capacity, increasing the number of special environment buses, said Kailash Gehlot, according to the news agency.


Till now, it was a rule that NOC was not given to diesel vehicles more than 10 years old and petrol vehicles more than 15 years old. But recently the government changed the order, now it is giving NOC to all the vehicles which have completed their life.


Overaged vehicles can also be converted into electric vehicles. For that, we have invited those who want to convert the vehicles into electric vehicles.


Although this process of getting the electric machine is between the vehicle owner and the company, there is no role of the transport department and the Delhi government in this.


The transport minister said that one can apply for NOC through the website of the Transport Department.


The Delhi government has renewed the permits of 550 environment buses. In the next two three days, more buses will start running.


Right now public transport in Delhi is running at only one-third of its capacity. Earlier, about 50 people used to travel in a 35-seat bus, which has now decreased to 17-18 due to rising covid-19 cases.
