The days of old vehicles in Delhi are now over. End-off-LIFE in the capital from 1 July (Eol) Strict action is being started against vehicles. Under the new orders of the Commission for Air Quality Management (CAQM), such vehicles found at public places and petrol pumps will be confiscated and fined will also have to be paid.
Which vehicles will be considered EOL?
According to CAQM, petrol vehicles older than 15 years and diesel vehicles older than 10 years fall under the category of EOL. Such vehicles will no longer get fuel from any petrol pump in Delhi. If these vehicles are found to be parked in a public place, they will be confiscated.
How will old vehicles be identified?
AnPR (Automated Number Plate Recognition) cameras have been installed at more than 500 fuel stations in the capital. As soon as a vehicle comes to the pump, the camera will scan its number plate and the information will be mixed with the Vahan database immediately. If the vehicle comes out, the system will alert and the petrol pump staff will not fill the fuel in that vehicle.
What will be the fine rates?
- Four wheel EOL vehicle: ₹ 10,000 fine
- Two -wheeler EOL vehicle: ₹ 5,000 fine + toing and parking fee
Along with this, vehicle owners will have to give in writing that they will not use or parking in any public place.
Seizure and scraping action
If an EOL vehicle is found in a public place, the enforcement agencies will seize it and send it to the registered vehicle scrapping facility (RVSF). If the owner wants to take the vehicle out of Delhi, it will be mandatory to take NOC.
