Overview
- Immediate removal of BS‑I to BS‑III vehicles is proposed, with BS‑IV targeted for withdrawal over the next five years.
- All new commercial two‑wheelers and taxis from April 2027 would need to be zero tailpipe emission, with light goods vehicles following from April 2028.
- From April 2030, only electric cars would be eligible for new registration in Delhi‑NCR.
- Longer‑term steps include withdrawing BS‑VI two‑wheelers by 2035 and BS‑VI cars by 2040, plus seasonal curbs on BS‑IV use starting later this year under consideration.
- The draft outlines a legal right to charge at homes and workplaces, remote‑sensing PUC enforcement, and 10–15 year protections for recent BS‑VI buyers, citing worsening health indicators as rationale.
