In a bid to tackle the issue of old vehicles plying on Delhi's roads, the state government has come up with an attractive offer for residents. If you own an old car and are looking to upgrade to a new one, you can now avail of benefits under the government's new policy. The Delhi Transport Department has proposed a scheme that will incentivize people to scrap their old vehicles and purchase new ones.

Under this policy, individuals who scrap their old vehicles and buy new ones will be eligible for a discount on motor vehicle tax. According to reports, the benefits range from 10 to 20 percent, with maximum discounts offered to those who purchase electric or petrol vehicles. Those who opt for diesel vehicles will receive a 15 percent discount on motor vehicle tax.

This move comes after the Delhi government recently warned owners of vehicles older than 15 years that their vehicles would be impounded if found plying on public roads. The government had also announced penalties of up to Rs 10,000 for four-wheelers and Rs 5,000 for two-wheelers.

With over 5.5 million vehicles already registered in Delhi, the government's new policy aims to provide a solution to the long-standing issue of old vehicles contributing to air pollution in the city. By incentivizing residents to scrap their old vehicles and purchase new ones, the government hopes to reduce the number of polluting vehicles on the roads.

The Delhi Transport Department's proposal is a step in the right direction, as it not only encourages residents to upgrade to newer, more environmentally friendly vehicles but also offers benefits that will make the transition more attractive. With the government's emphasis on promoting cleaner transportation, this policy is likely to gain traction among residents who are looking to upgrade their vehicles.

In conclusion, the Delhi government's new policy offers a win-win solution for residents who want to upgrade their old vehicles. By providing incentives for scrapping old vehicles and purchasing new ones, the government is not only addressing the issue of air pollution but also making it more attractive for residents to opt for cleaner transportation options.
