The Delhi government, in the National Capital Region, has banned the usage of 15-year-old petrol automobiles and 10-year-old diesel vehicles. The National Green Tribunal has advised the state government to deregister any automobiles that violate the rules.

Residents in Noida, Ghaziabad, and other sections of the NCR will also be subject to the regulations, as they will be required to destroy their old automobiles. The government stated in a public notice that, while registration certificates for all sorts of cars are valid for 15 years, a diesel vehicle cannot operate in Delhi for more than 10 years. It said that no-objection certifications for cars aged 10 to 15 years can be obtained and used to register them in states where it is legal. A Supreme Court order for the impoundment of end-of-life diesel and gasoline cars was also highlighted. In its voluntary car disposal programme, the Union government has permitted obsolete vehicles to be driven if they pass a fitness test. The policy is for fitness tests after 20 years for personal vehicles while commercial vehicles require it after the completion of 15 years. End-of-life vehicles in national capital, including two-wheelers, number around 37 lakh out of over one crore registered vehicles. Many of these ply on the roads causing pollution.

Except for Delhi, the centrally promulgated regulation will apply across the country. The prohibition order in the state was enacted as a result of a court order, therefore you can only seek relief once the court intervenes. Even if a Delhi car meets all of the requirements, it cannot be driven in the NCR. The ban applies throughout the Delhi-NCR region, thus you won't be allowed to operate such a car in Noida, Ghaziabad, or Gurugram.
