No PUC, No Fuel: Delhi Rolls Out Strict Winter Pollution Curbs To Improve Air Quality

Summary

The Delhi government has introduced strict measures to tackle air pollution during winter, including mandatory Pollution Under Control certificates for refuelling vehicles. Vehicles without a valid certificate will not be allowed to refuel at petrol, diesel, or CNG stations in Delhi, and authorities will use cameras and databases to verify compliance. The new rules, which will be in effect from November 1 to February 28 every year, also include restrictions on older diesel vehicles, higher private parking charges, and limits on construction activities to improve air quality.
