Delhi Environment Minister Manjinder Singh Sirsa declared on Saturday that the Delhi government would halt offering petrol supply through stations to vehicles exceeding 15 years after March 31. Government officials have implemented this measure to create drastic emission controls for vehicles and environmental pollution.
Officials from the meeting analyzed methods to tackle air pollution in Delhi before reaching the agreement to stop petrol distribution for vehicles sixty months or older. Sirsa declared that the government maintains a firm approach to both vehicular emissions and environmental pollution reduction measures.
The conference examined three chief policy decisions which involved vehicle restrictions on aged cars, required air pollution prevention equipment and electric transportation initiatives. Sirsa announced the installation of devices across petrol stations to recognize vehicles exceeding 15 years that will automatically prevent fuel distribution to such vehicles after the intergovernmental meeting.
The government of Delhi plans to notify the Union Ministry of Petroleum about this decision according to Sirsa. The capital of Delhi faced additional restrictions aimed at supplying motor fuel only to vehicles that were less than fifteen years old. At the same time the government mandated the installation of anti-smog guns in all high-rise buildings and hotels with commercial complexes.
The city continues to take extensive measures to tackle its air pollution problems which represent significant threats to its population. The current petroleum product costs in Delhi operate at Rs 94.72 per liter for petrol and Rs 87.62 per liter for diesel.
