Delhi Enforces BS-VI Vehicle Entry Restrictions Under Winter Pollution Plan
Starting November 1, Delhi will restrict entry to vehicles registered outside the city that do not meet BS-VI emission standards, as part of its winter pollution control plan running until January 31, 2027. Over a million non-compliant vehicles exist in neighboring regions, but exemptions apply for certain vehicles. Enforcement will use ANPR cameras at border checkpoints. Vehicle emission standards, set by Bharat Stage norms, determine compliance, and owners are advised to verify their vehicle's classification through official documents rather than manufacturing year alone.
