NGT bars registration of diesel vehicles in Delhi till January 6

December 11, 2015 19:29

No new diesel vehicles will be registered in Delhi, the National Green Tribunal said, announcing another giant step for the critically-polluted capital after the odd-even rule.

The tribunal has also said that the central and state government must not buy any diesel vehicle in Delhi.

These will be interim steps till the next date of hearing on January 6, said the green court.

In April, the tribunal had banned diesel vehicles over 10 years old in the city labelled world's most polluted.

The move comes at a time the Supreme Court has agreed to hear a petition seeking a complete ban on diesel cars in Delhi and other cities. The case will come up on December 15.
