In a bid to combat the severe air pollution problem in Delhi, Minister Manjinder Singh Sirsa has announced that vehicles older than 15 years will no longer be eligible to receive fuel after March 31. This move is part of the government’s efforts to reduce emissions and improve air quality in the capital city.

The decision to restrict fuel supply to older vehicles comes as Delhi continues to grapple with dangerously high levels of pollution, particularly during the winter months. The ban is expected to target vehicles that are major contributors to air pollution and do not meet current emission standards.

With this new measure, the Delhi government aims to encourage the phasing out of old and polluting vehicles, which are a significant source of air pollution in the city. By restricting fuel access to these vehicles, authorities hope to curb emissions and improve the overall air quality for residents.
