Commission for Air Quality Management (CAQM) is going to implement a new scheme to control vehicles pollution in the capital region. Under this scheme, old trains will be identified through surveillance system. After the introduction of this campaign in Delhi, it will be gradually expanded to other areas of NCR. However, opposition to this effort of the Delhi government has also started, in which 44 percent of the people in a survey have emphasized the need for alternative measures. Many steps are being taken to successfully implement this scheme.
200 teams will monitor
The Delhi government will set up special teams to take action against old vehicles, which will monitor petrol pumps. For this purpose, 200 teams will be formed, which will work with MCD, Enforcement Branch of Transport Department and Traffic Police. Standard operating process (SOP) has been issued to the owners of the petrol pump, which has been clarified that immediate action will be taken against the identified older vehicles.

It has been clarified in the SOP that the seizure and disposal of vehicles under the registered vehicle scrapping facility (RVSF) will be done according to the rules and guidelines determined by the Department of Transport. The owners of the petrol pump will have to submit the list of vehicles caught every week to the Ministry of CAQM and Petroleum and Natural Gas. Currently about 400 petrol pumps are being operated in Delhi.
How will vehicles be identified?
How will 10 years of diesel and 15 year old vehicles of petrol-CNG be confirmed? There is a central tool for this, named Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR). This is a network of cameras, which is installed at all petrol pumps. This system is link to Vahan database, which is designed to detect old and non-complex vehicles in real time.

As soon as a car enters the pump, ANPR cameras scan his license plate and check the information of Vahan Registry immediately. If the car is identified as an end-of-life vehicle (ELV) or does not have a valid pollution control certificate (PUCC), an audio alert will be sent to the system operator. Through this alert, the petrol pump operator will be informed that this vehicle is an end-off-life and should not be fuel.
How much will be fined for violation of rules?
According to government data in Delhi, there are 62 lakh vehicles whose age has ended, including 41 lakh two -wheelers and 18 lakh four wheelers. Apart from this, 44 lakh ELVs are present in other areas of NCR. At present, the rule is that the vehicles seized for the second time will be sent directly to RVSF. Vehicle owners outside Delhi-NCR can be fined Rs 10,000 for four-wheeler ELV and Rs 5,000 for two wheel ELV. The owners of the vehicle can apply for release within three weeks of seizure, and the authorities have to take a decision on such an application within seven days.

If petrol pump owners do not follow the rules, action will be taken against them. Violation petrol pump operators can be fined under Section 192 of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988. In 2018, the Supreme Court ordered a ban on diesel vehicles older than 10 years old and 15 years old petrol vehicles in Delhi. Apart from this, in 2014, the National Green Tribunal also banned parking of vehicles more than 15 years old in public places.

According to a survey by a localskills, about 44 % of car owners in Delhi are opposing the government’s decision on fuel supply to old diesel and petrol vehicles.
