Transport department estimates suggest over 10 lakh vehicles in neighbouring NCR areas could be affected.
Gurugram traffic police have also issued an advisory for commercial goods vehicles Transport department estimates suggest more than 10 lakh vehicles in neighbouring NCR areas could be affected. Gurgaon and Faridabad together have nearly 2 lakh non-BS6 vehicles, about 70% of them BS3 and BS4, along with around 50,000 commercial vehicles. Noida and Greater Noida have over 4 lakh such vehicles, more than half of them BS4 and mostly petrol cars. Ghaziabad has around 4 lakh. Gurugram traffic police have also warned that BS4 and older commercial goods vehicles, including light, medium and heavy goods vehicles, trucks and buses, will not be allowed in from November 1. Around 300 transport department enforcement personnel will be deployed.
CNG and electric vehicles can still enter Delhi. So can diesel buses and trucks that meet BS6 norms, and buses registered in Delhi. This includes vehicles running on All India Tourist Permits. Authorities are tightening checks at Delhi’s borders. Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) cameras and AI-powered cameras will read registration plates and identify vehicles entering the capital. Entry points from Noida, Gurgaon and Ghaziabad are also being strengthened to physically stop non-BS6 vehicles. Know the result: BS6 vehicles can enter Delhi, while BS4 and older vehicles registered outside Delhi will be stopped, unless they run on CNG or electricity.
