Supreme Court Directs Centre to Pilot Fuel Sale Linked to Vehicle Insurance
The Supreme Court has directed the Indian government to implement a pilot project linking fuel sales to valid vehicle insurance, starting in Delhi. This follows concerns over nearly 56% of vehicles on Indian roads lacking valid insurance, which delays victim compensation after accidents. The court emphasized the need for a concrete proposal with timelines and scheduled the next hearing for August 21. The initiative aims to reduce uninsured vehicles and improve road safety enforcement.
