Government Proposes Amendments to Vehicle Permit Fees, Age Limits, and Digital Processes
The Indian government has proposed several amendments to vehicle regulations, including a 25% reduction in All-India Tourist Permit fees across four vehicle categories and a 10-year age limit for diesel vehicles registered in Delhi to obtain such permits. Additionally, the draft rules suggest extending the age limit by five years for battery-operated, hydrogen, and natural gas-powered vehicles. The proposals also aim to digitize permit processes and allow electronic authorizations, with a 30-day public consultation period before finalization.
