Delhi Ban on Non-BS VI Vehicles: Stricter pollution control rules are being implemented in Delhi from November 1st. This has raised questions about whether diesel vehicles with UP14 (Ghaziabad) and UP15 (Meerut) numbers will no longer be allowed to run in Delhi. The Delhi government has implemented the Graded Response Action Plan (GRAP) to address deteriorating air quality.

Under this, old vehicles coming from outside will be banned, especially those without BS-6 engines. They will no longer be able to ply on the capital's roads. This decision has been taken in view of the continuously increasing pollution after Diwali. People are confused as to whether these vehicles will truly be barred from entering Delhi. Is this really going to happen? Learn the important information.

Ban on Entry of These Vehicles in Delhi

With the implementation of GRAP Stage 2 in Delhi, the risk of diesel vehicles being banned increases. If the AQI reaches the Severe category, some diesel vehicles may be banned from operating in Delhi. This will directly impact commuters from the NCR, including those from Ghaziabad and Meerut who travel to Delhi daily for work or business.

Currently, vehicles coming from outside Delhi whose engines are not BS-6 compliant will be barred from entering Delhi from November 1st. However, this applies only to commercial vehicles. Private vehicles are exempt. You can take your personal vehicle. It is not the case that vehicles with UP 14 and UP 15 numbers are barred from entering. The ban is based on BS-6 standards.

Entry of these vehicles will continue

Under the Delhi government's new rules, certain vehicles will be permitted to enter Delhi. These include all commercial vehicles registered in Delhi that comply with emission standards. Diesel vehicles with BS-6 engines, CNG, and LNG-powered vehicles will also be allowed to travel freely. Electric vehicles have also been granted full exemption. The government's goal is to ensure that only modern and less polluting vehicles operate in Delhi, thereby improving air quality, which has deteriorated significantly in recent times.
