What is the basis for the ban on overage vehicles in Delhi-NCR according to CAQM?
Orders from NGT and Supreme CourtThe Commission for Air Quality Management (CAQM) admitted it has not conducted any independent research on pollution caused by overage vehicles. The ban on vehicles older than 10 years (diesel) and 15 years (petrol) is based on judicial orders. Specifically, the restrictions stem from the National Green Tribunal's ruling in Vardhman Kaushik vs Union of India and a Supreme Court order in M C Mehta vs Union of India. Despite lacking scientific studies, these legal directives form the foundation of the policy. The enforcement has been delayed due to technical and operational challenges.

Why has the enforcement of the fuel supply ban on overage vehicles been postponed in Delhi?
Technical issues with ANPR systemThe enforcement of the fuel ban on end-of-life vehicles has been delayed until October 31 due to operational and infrastructural challenges. The Delhi government cited software glitches, improper camera placement, malfunctioning sensors, and incomplete integration with neighboring states' vehicle databases as key issues. The Automated Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) system is crucial for identifying overage vehicles by linking to the VAHAN database. Without a fully functional system, effective enforcement is not feasible. The July 1 rollout was halted, and the revised implementation is planned for November 1 in high-density districts.
