New Delhi: With a national vehicle scrappage policy that is widely awaited now, the Delhi government wants criteria to cancel or mark the ‘final life’ vehicle in the capital to fitness, and not age, such as in all countries.
The state government of the State will approach the Supreme Court with a request for reviewing the 2018 order which prohibits 15-year-old gasoline and 10-year-old diesel vehicles in Delhi-NCR, if national policies do not have separate allowances for capital.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched a national vehicle scrappage policy on Friday, with the aim of removing unworthy vehicles and polluting.
However, unlike Delhi-NCR, where driving a car under 15 years or a 10-year-old diesel-run can invite criminal actions, with a fine of up to the hospital.
10,000 or spasms and scrapping vehicles, national policies need a personal 20-year-old vehicle and a 15-year-old commercial vehicle to be removed, and it is also only if the vehicle fails to forward a fitness test.
“If the emphasis on the national vehicle scrappage policy is on fitness, why should Delhies suffer?” Transport Minister Delhi Kailash Gahlot told TII.
“After the policy is told, we will learn it and see if it relates to Delhi’s status and trial order or not.
If we find that it does not handle it, we clearly have the freedom to approach the court and request an order review,” he said.
The Supreme Court on October 29, 2018, banned a 15-year-old gasoline plying and a 10-year-old diesel vehicle in NCR and directed the transportation department to announce that the vehicle would find plying.
Explaining the pollution situation in Delhi-NCR as ‘very critical’, The Apex Court also said that the list of vehicles must be published on the Department of Transportation website.
The Department of Transportation has issued ‘guidelines for printing motorized vehicles in Delhi’ in 2018 and also allowed the first scrapper.
Although the number of scrappers are now five, the number of old vehicles removed to date are only around 3,000.
While national policy allows vehicles that have the right fitness to stab even if this is older, it is impossible to implement this policy in Delhi because of the APEX court order.
Delhi government officials said they had received many questions about new policies from vehicle owners who approached the end of their lives.
They were asked what it meant for those whose vehicles were in good and well maintained conditions.
The government wants to give a court about the situation and request it to review the reviews.
Although the central new policy allows re-registration of old vehicles if cleaning the fitness test, the cost of getting a fitness certificate for a 20-year-old vehicle is expected to be high.
