NEW DELHI: Union Cabinet is likely to approve an incentive scheme aimed at phasing out BS-IV trucks and buses in the Delhi-National Capital Region (NCR) and replacing them with BS-VI and electric vehicles over the next five years. The proposal, Naya Safar, is likely to be taken up on Wednesday so that the scheme can be rolled out before Oct-Nov this year when air pollution usually spikes in the capital and its surrounding areas, TOI has learnt.People aware of the development said that the scheme piloted by housing and urban affairs ministry will include interest subsidies where existing owners take loans from banks to buy new vehicles and diesel coupons for replacing old diesel trucks and buses with less or no polluting vehicles. Member states in the NCR can also offer additional incentive to expedite this transition to reduce air pollution. The scheme will be applicable for all types of trucks registered in the NCR, and both govt and private owned buses.BS-IV trucks and buses hit the market in 2017 and there is rare possibility of old BS-II or BS-III diesel trucks and buses operating in this region, officials said. As per govt data, around two lakh old trucks and 20,000 diesel buses registered in the region would be covered by the scheme.Last December, the Commission for Air Quality Management issued a direction stating that all commercial goods vehicles registered outside Delhi and not compliant with BS-VI norms will be prohibited from entering the national capital from November 1, 2026. Older commercial diesel vehicles cause more air pollution.Officials said once the new scheme is completely implemented, stricter enforcement will be possible. “Govt is taking multi-pronged measures to check air pollution – from modernising vehicle fleets to mitigating roadside dust besides checking open air burning. Efforts are on to onboard all stakeholders to improve the air quality in Delhi-NCR,” said an official.As per govt data, Delhi-NCR has around 3.3 crore registered vehicles and approximately 2.2 crore have valid registration and fitness. In a presentation to a parliamentary panel, govt had shared that around seven lakh medium and heavy commercial vehicles are registered in Delhi-NCR and little over three lakh of these have valid registration and fitness certificates. Nearly 40% of the vehicular pollution is attributed to medium and heavy commercial vehicles.End of ArticleFollow Us On Social MediaVideosSaying ‘I Love Pakistan’ Is Okay For You?: Pawan Kalyan Slams Congress, Seeks Rahul’s ResponseSonam Wangchuk To Join Cockroach Janata Party’s Delhi Protest If Education Minister Doesn’t ResignWhere Are TMC Leaders?

File photo CEC Gyanesh Kumar has sent out a clear message to the election machinery in poll-going states – particularly officers brought in to replace the administrative and police brass seen as “pliable” or “partisan” towards the party in office – that they must maintain 100% neutrality while imposing strict checks on poll violence and voter intimidation. “EC has zero tolerance towards any kind of violence, intimidation or inducement towards any elector,” the CEC is said to have told officials involved in poll conduct in the four states and one UT. An EC official said the slew of transfers in WB, Tamil Nadu, Kerala and Assam is aimed at cleaning up administration and police of elements that have become pliable. “In states like WB, violence and intimidation have been features of polls. This cycle has to stop,” the official said, adding that the deployment of 1,111 observers are steps in that direction.About the AuthorBharti JainBharti Jain is senior editor with The Times of India, New Delhi.
