City bans 15-year-old gasoline cars from refueling

The Indian city of New Delhi wants to eliminate gasoline cars. From April 1 this year, it will be forbidden to refuel cars that are over 15 years old in the city.

From April 1, 2025, authorities in New Delhi, India, will ban the sale of gasoline to cars older than 15 years.

According to the authorities, the measure is intended to reduce air pollution in the city. A car that is 15 years old or older is equivalent to a car produced in 2010 or earlier.

New Delhi has long had challenges with air quality. In order to improve it, authorities have previously cracked down on drivers in older cars.

This is what Auto Bild writes.

In 2014, parking restrictions were introduced for older cars, and in 2018, a driving ban was introduced for petrol cars over 15 years old and diesel cars over 10 years old.

However, the rules have only been complied with and enforced to varying degrees.

To enforce the ban on the sale of gasoline to older cars, camera surveillance based on license plate recognition will be installed in the city.

The system uses camera technology to read license plates and compare the information with data on the age of the vehicles.

The system is intended to ensure that gas stations do not deliver gasoline to owners of cars covered by the ban.

A similar system is already in use to check that cars comply with current emission requirements in India.

Violation of the refueling ban will result in a fine of around 100 euros and confiscation of the vehicle.

Car owners whose cars are covered by the ban have the option of scrapping their car or selling it outside New Delhi.

To encourage scrapping of older cars, the authorities in New Delhi are offering to pay five percent of the price of each new car purchased.

Drivers can also choose a subsidy of the equivalent of 12,000 kroner. But then the new car must also run exclusively on electricity.

The authorities are currently working on establishing a network of public charging stations in the city. However, it is unclear when this will become a reality.

Authorities in New Delhi expect the new rules to have a noticeable effect on air quality in the city.
