Overview
- Haryana’s Cabinet, which met Monday, approved rules that limit new vehicles for aggregators and delivery firms in NCR districts to CNG, electric, battery-powered or other cleaner fuels starting January 1, 2026.
- Existing fleets in NCR can only add three-wheeler auto-rickshaws that run on CNG or electricity, closing the door to petrol and diesel additions.
- The state replaced Rule 86A to create a licensing system that requires at least ₹5 lakh passenger cover, ₹5 lakh driver health insurance and ₹10 lakh term insurance, plus GPS tracking, panic buttons, first-aid kits, fire extinguishers and round-the-clock control rooms.
- Driver and vehicle details must be verified through the national VAHAN and SARATHI portals, and operators must handle registration and licensing on cleanmobility.haryanatransport.gov.in.
- The rules carry out the Commission for Air Quality Management directive for Delhi-NCR, aligning Haryana with the region-wide shift away from petrol and diesel additions to app and delivery fleets.
