Centre Plans to Replace 230,000 Old Commercial Vehicles in Delhi-NCR Within a Year
The Indian government aims to replace 230,000 older commercial vehicles, including BS-IV and older trucks and buses, with BS-VI or electric models in Delhi-NCR within a year under the PARIVARTAN scheme. This initiative, funded by the National Capital Region Planning Board and implemented by the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways, offers financial incentives such as interest subvention, road tax waivers, and discounts to beneficiaries. Officials expect visible air quality improvements by next winter, addressing the region's high pollution levels.
