Delhi Pollution Plan: Non-BS6 NCR Vehicles Barred From Capital From 1 November
The Delhi government has announced its winter pollution action plan, introducing measures including staggered office timings, a proposed 50 percent work-from-home mandate, and curbs on construction activities. Under the plan, vehicles registered outside Delhi that do not comply with Bharat Stage 6 emission norms will be barred from entering the capital from 1 November until 31 January 2027. The restriction applies to both non-BS6 petrol and diesel vehicles, while Delhi-registered vehicles, CNG, electric vehicles, and essential services are exempt. Over 10 lakh vehicles from neighbouring NCR regions, including Noida, Ghaziabad, Gurugram, and Faridabad, could be impacted and face challans if found within Delhi limits.
