The Delhi government on Friday notified the ‘Proactive Winter Air Quality Management Framework’, under which non-BS VI commercial vehicles registered outside the capital will not be allowed to enter the city from November to January.
In a statement, Chief Minister Rekha Gupta said that under the notified framework, only vehicles possessing a valid pollution under control certificate (PUCC) will be able to buy fuel at petrol pumps in Delhi.
It was not immediately clear how long these fuel purchase restrictions will be in place.
Non-BS VI commercial vehicles registered outside Delhi will not be allowed to enter the city between November 1, 2026, and January 31, 2027. However, CNG vehicles, electric vehicles, emergency service vehicles and those engaged in government work will be exempt from this restriction, the chief minister said.
In order to improve the air quality during winter and discourage excessive use of private vehicles, Gupta said, charges at authorised parking facilities will be doubled from November 1, 2026, to February 28, 2027.
A staggered office timing system, ban on open burning of garbage and biomass, advanced planning for dust control and construction activities are also part of the framework.
Gupta said the restrictions and arrangements are being communicated months before winter sets in so that people do not face inconvenience later.
