Delhi residents criticize end-of-life scrappage policy

India Jul 02, 2025

Delhi just rolled out a strict ban on older vehicles—no refueling for diesel cars over 10 years old or petrol ones past 15.
The move is meant to fight pollution, but it's left many people upset, especially since they've already paid road tax for the full 15 years and now can't use their cars.

Focus on car's condition, emissions—not just its age: Residents

The city's using cameras at fuel stations to catch banned vehicles, with a steep ₹10,000 fine and towing if you break the rule.
Many residents feel let down by the lack of electric vehicle options and support from the government.
Social media is buzzing with calls to focus on a car's condition and emissions—not just its age—plus some frustration over exceptions made for government vehicles.
