Yes and so much police checking, which is nothing but money making. I wonder how many tickets are issued. At least anyone going outside/ coming back from Delhi with a local Delhi address should be allowed. But then, who wants to think logically? All Euro 1 or 2 smoke-emitting Trucks which rule the roads at night still continue to run freely.

Government revokes ban on BS3 petrol and BS4 diesel vehicles in Delhi-NCR as AQ improves.

BS3 petrol and BS4 diesel four-wheelers were banned from plying on Delhi-NCR roads on December 22, 2023, owing to poor air quality.

Ban on BS3 and BS4 vehicles lifted in Delhi-NCR region
CAQM had placed these restrictions owing to the decreasing AQI in the capital
Stage-I and Stage-II restrictions of GARP are still invoked

As per an official statement issued by CAQM, the forecast does not indicate any further deterioration, and there is a likelihood of the AQI improving while remaining in the very poor/poor category in the next few days. The commission has asked agencies to keep strict vigil and especially intensify measures under Stage I and II of GRAP in order to obviate the implementation of Stage III of GRAP.

Diesel vehicle ban is back, amid worsening air quality.

The curbs include a ban on non-essential construction work and the plying of BS III petrol and BS IV diesel four-wheelers in the National Capital Region including Delhi.

I think some such curbs are necessary in other major Indian cities too. Pune region is one such candidate. PCMC is already looking at a GRAP like plan. But it should focus on multiple aspects-air pollution as well as wastage of water resources.

GRAP works solely and solely according to AQI levels. It has nothing to do with water wastage. Provisions kick in as soon as AQI crosses a set threshold.

Are BS3 motorcycles allowed? Or are they banned as well?

And ban is revoked. For now.

After Delhi, diesel vehicle restrictions coming to Mumbai?

Diesel cars in danger in Mumbai too: High Court steps in with ban suggestion.

Air pollution is one of the major problems that many metro cities in India are facing. In New Delhi, the government and authorities impose restrictions on the movement of old diesel vehicles. They also follow the NGT rule, which has reduced the lifespan of diesel vehicles to 10 years and petrol vehicles to 15 years. It looks like Maharashtra is on the same path as Delhi, as the Bombay High Court on Thursday proposed the phasing out of diesel vehicles and wood/coal-fired kilns (bhattis) used by bakeries as part of its efforts to combat the deteriorating air quality in Mumbai.

As ban on cars is not reducing pollution, I dread the day when and if the focus of morons in NGT shifts to human farts.
Can’t imagine the line and methods of PUC then
What will they ban??? Reddish!!

Did diesel car ban result in any pollution reduction in Delhi NCR this year?

Real cause of pollution in Delhi NCR is stubble (parali) burning in neighboring states.

Any action taken on it? None.

NGT, Supreme Court and Member of Parliament in Delhi, all sleeping.

Mumbai cause of pollution is construction and road dust.

Any action taken? None.

What is easy?

Lets ban diesel cars above 10 years and petrol cars above 15 years with ZERO scientific reasons whatsoever.

Seems car manufacturers lobby for new sales and Govt of India need for tax money is causing this draconian law.
