Delhiites challenge 'No fuel for old vehicles' policy

India Jul 02, 2025

Starting July 1, Delhi has stopped selling fuel to petrol cars older than 15 years and diesel ones over 10, hoping to cut down on air pollution.
On the first day, 24 vehicles breaking the rule were seized.

'Car's age isn't everything...': Internet

While most people followed the rule at major petrol pumps, many online are calling it "unfair," saying a car's age isn't everything—mileage and condition matter too.
Some have suggested improving EV charging points and public transport instead.
CNG vehicles aren't affected by this ban, which follows earlier Supreme Court and Green Tribunal orders aimed at cleaning up Delhi's air.
