Uttar Pradesh requires PUCC in NCR to target 35% cut
India
Uttar Pradesh is aiming for a big drop (about 35%) in air pollution across the NCR during 2026.
Starting October 1, 2026, you won't be able to get fuel in NCR districts unless your vehicle has a valid Pollution Under Control Certificate (PUCC).
The idea is simple: no PUCC, no fuel, and hopefully, less smoggy skies.
Government funds Delhi-NCR BS-IV upgrades ₹9,585cr
To help speed things up, the government's rolling out a ₹9,585 crore scheme for Delhi-NCR.
If you own an older truck or bus (BS-IV or earlier), you can get financial support to upgrade to cleaner BS-VI or electric models.
It's all about phasing out polluting vehicles and making it easier (and more appealing) to go green.
