Delhi Makes ‘No PUCC, No Fuel’ Rule and Non-BS6 Entry Ban Permanent

Officials say vehicle curbs are needed with AQI near 390 in the very poor to severe range.

Overview

  • Fuel will not be dispensed anywhere in Delhi without a valid Pollution Under Control Certificate until further orders, the environment minister said.
  • Non‑BS6 vehicles from outside the capital will be stopped at entry points, extending an emergency curb into a standing rule.
  • CPCB data put Delhi’s AQI near 390–391 with some stations above 400, as CAQM maintained GRAP Stage III controls.
  • Early enforcement triggered long queues at pumps and over 61,000 PUCCs issued within two days, transport department figures show.
  • Transporters reported pumps insisting on physical certificates despite planned ANPR checks, and the cabinet approved Rs 100 crore for water‑body rejuvenation plus an e‑waste park at Holambi Kalan.
