Experts welcome Delhi govt’s move to deregister 10-yr-old diesel vehicles

The Delhi government’s order to deregister all diesel vehicles older than 10 years on January 1, 2022 has met with disagreement from many owners while experts welcomed the decision to tackle air pollution in the national capital.

In compliance with the National Green Tribunal’s directions, the Delhi government will deregister all diesel vehicles which will complete 10 years on January 1, 2022, and issue no objection certificate (NOC) so that they can be re-registered in other places.

However, no NOC will be issued for diesel vehicles, which have completed 15 years or more on the date of applying for it, according to an order issued earlier this week by the Delhi transport department.
