In Delhi, govt to deregister diesel vehicles completing 10 years on Jan 1

New Delhi: The Delhi Government will deregister all diesel vehicles that will complete 10 years on January 1, 2022, and issue no objection certificate (NOC) so that they can be re-registered in other places. The decision has been taken in compliance with the National Green Tribunal’s (NGT) directions. On the other hand, no NOC will be issued for diesel vehicles that have completed 15 years or more on the date of applying for it.
