Delhi government has announced a strict new rule to control air pollution, effective from April 1, 2025. Under this new regulation, vehicles without a valid Pollution Under Control (PUC) certificate will not be allowed to refuel at petrol pumps. 🔴 What is the New Rule?

From April 1, 2025, vehicles without a valid PUC certificate will be denied fuel at petrol pumps in Delhi.
✔ A centralized system will check a vehicle’s registration number to verify its PUC status before allowing refueling.
Around 500 petrol pumps in Delhi have been integrated with this system.
✔ Vehicles with expired PUC certificates will be flagged as "Defaulters" and will be refused fuel.

📍 Where is This System Implemented?

This rule is initially enforced at select petrol pumps, including:

🔹 Veejay Service Station, Kalidas Marg
🔹 Angra HP Centre, Vinay Marg, Near Nehru Park, Chanakyapuri
🔹 Anup Service Station, Alaknanda DDA Community Centre
🔹 Ugra Sain and Sons, Opp. Welcome Metro Station, Shahdara
🔹 Qutab Service Station, Mehrauli Road
🔹 Intimate Service Station, Panchsheel Park

🛑 Ban on Vehicles Over 15 Years Old

🚗 Petrol vehicles older than 15 years and diesel vehicles older than 10 years are already banned from Delhi roads.
🚗 A special team will identify such vehicles at petrol pumps and deny them fuel.

🛠 How Will the System Work?

✔ Petrol pumps are now connected to a central database.
✔ When a vehicle arrives for refueling, the system will check its PUC validity using its registration number.
✔ If the PUC certificate is expired, the system will alert the petrol pump staff, and fuel will not be provided.

💬 Why is This Rule Important?

Reduces air pollution by ensuring only vehicles meeting emission norms get fuel.
Encourages vehicle owners to keep their PUC certificates up to date.
Supports the Delhi government's clean air initiative.

🚨 What Should Vehicle Owners Do?

Ensure your PUC certificate is renewed on time to avoid inconvenience.
Check your PUC validity online through government portals.
✔ Visit authorized testing centers at select petrol pumps to renew your certificate.
