No petrol, diesel without pollution check certificate in Delhi from October 25

FROM OCTOBER 25, pollution under control (PUC) certificates will be mandatory for refuelling at petrol pumps in Delhi.

Announcing this at a press conference, Delhi Environment Minister Gopal Rai said: “To deal with vehicular emissions, we usually take measures, even in the winter action plan. In addition to this, there is a new development which is still in process. This year, as pollution levels increase in winter, people will not be able to fill petrol at a pump without a valid pollution under control certificate. The government is preparing for this. On March 3, a public notice inviting suggestions on this was invited. On September 29, there was a meeting with the Transport Department, Environment Department and Traffic Police on this.”
