CAQM Introduces Revised Graded Response Action Plan for Delhi NCR
What happened
The Commission for Air Quality Management (CAQM) introduced a revised Graded Response Action Plan (GRAP) for the National Capital Region (NCR), including Delhi. The plan outlines 48 actions across four stages, with strict vehicle restrictions now in force. Authorities have strengthened the 'No PUCC, No Fuel' rule, requiring fuel stations to not dispense fuel to vehicles without a valid Pollution Under Control (PUC) certificate.

Why it matters
The revised framework introduces stringent compliance requirements for motorists in the NCR. Failure to comply with the updated pollution and vehicle guidelines carries substantial penalties, including a ₹10,000 fine for operating a vehicle without a valid PUC certificate. Additionally, petrol and diesel vehicles from outside Delhi without BS-VI emission standards face a complete entry ban starting November 1.
