Delhi Enforces Vehicle Restrictions and Diversions to Curb Winter Air Pollution
Delhi is implementing stricter measures from November 1, 2026, to January 31, 2027, to reduce air pollution and traffic congestion during winter. Non-BS6 vehicles registered outside Delhi will be banned from entering, with only electric, CNG, and BS-VI diesel buses allowed. Non-compliant buses will be diverted at city borders to avoid congestion. Fuel stations will enforce a 'No PUC, No Fuel' policy, and staggered office timings with increased parking fees aim to reduce vehicular emissions. Authorities plan enhanced enforcement and public awareness at border points.
