NewsBytes Explainer: Why Delhi's truck ban is making headlines

India Nov 01, 2025

As of November 2025, Delhi has banned commercial goods vehicles that do not comply with at least the BS-IV standard from entering the city.
The move is meant to fight winter air pollution, but not everyone got the memo—some checkpoints are strict, while others let trucks roll through like nothing's changed.

What's the big deal?

This ban could affect older trucks in the NCR, but only if it's actually enforced everywhere.
If you care about clean air or just want to know why traffic might look different at city borders, this one's worth a quick read.
Plus, vehicles running on CNG, LNG, or electricity (and Delhi-registered ones) are still good to go.
