Ban on diesel vehicles older than 10 years in NCR: Haryana CM promises law to exempt tractors from ban

Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar Monday said the state will bring legislation exempting tractors from the rule that bans diesel vehicles older than 10 years from plying in NCR areas.

The NGT has taken a stand that plying of diesel and petrol vehicles older than 10 and 15 years respectively will not be allowed in the National Capital Region area, Khattar told the Assembly. “We have conveyed verbally as well as in writing that this (order) should not be implemented with strictness. But still I give assurance that we have taken exemption for tractors earlier too, and we will bring legislation in this session to seek exemption for tractors till 2025,” he said, replying to the debate on the governor’s address during the ongoing Budget session.
