The new permanent pollution regulations in India — Delhi, including the 'No PUC, No Fuel' rule and restrictions on non-BS-VI vehicles, will directly impact the automotive and logistics industries operating in and around India — Delhi. This could lead to increased demand for BS-VI compliant vehicles and electric buses, while potentially affecting fuel sales and transport operations for older vehicles.

India — Delhi has announced and made permanent stricter measures to combat air pollution, effective from December 18. Environment Minister Manjinder Singh Sirsa stated that vehicles without a valid Pollution Under Control Certificate (PUCC) will be denied fuel, and non-Bharat Stage VI (BS-VI) compliant vehicles registered outside India — Delhi will be barred from entering the city during GRAP-III and GRAP-IV periods. These measures are part of a comprehensive anti-pollution strategy that also includes increased waste processing, induction of electric buses, and actions against industrial and commercial units by the India — Delhi Pollution Control Committee. Sirsa criticized the India — Aam Aadmi Party for its past handling of pollution and emphasized the current government's data-driven approach. The government is also focusing on identifying pollution hotspots, installing online emission monitoring systems, and transitioning to green public transport, with 3,427 electric buses already inducted and plans for 7,500. Chief Minister Rekha Gupta also approved Rs 100 crore for water body rejuvenation as part of broader environmental efforts.
