Delhi to roll out GPS-enabled anti-smog gun vehicles in industrial hubs from June
Each CNG-operated truck is equipped with an advanced anti-smog gun capable of spraying a fine mist over a horizontal distance of 30 meters and rotating 330 degrees, allowing comprehensive dust suppression,
Delhi Environment Minister
Manjinder Singh Sirsa said.
He added that the vehicles also feature horizontal sprinklers along their width to spray water directly onto roads, consuming at least 1,500 litres of water per hour.
Starting June 2025, the initiative, in collaboration with the Delhi State Industrial and Infrastructure Development Corporation (DSIIDC), will be implemented across key industrial areas.
Each vehicle will function in two daily shifts- from 3 am to 7 am, and again during non-peak afternoon hours - totaling eight hours per day.
"Our government is fully committed to ensuring industrial growth while protecting the environment. We are taking concrete steps to minimise industrial waste and improve infrastructure so that businesses can thrive responsibly," Sirsa said.
Currently, the DSIIDC operates eight water sprinklers and three anti-smog guns in the Bawana and Narela industrial zones.
The new vehicles will extend coverage to Patparganj, Okhla Phase-III, A Block and S Block Phase-II, Jhilmil, Nangloi, Udyog Vihar, Badli, and Bhorgarh.
Two additional vehicles will be kept in reserve for industrial areas managed by the Delhi Development Authority (DDA), the minister added.

Delhi govt does U-turn on ‘fuel ban policy', asks CAQM to put ‘premature implementation' on hold
The policy introduced by the CAQM mandated that around 61 lakh end-of-life (EoL) vehicles identified in Delhi will not be allowed to ply on the capital's roads. The vehicles will be identified by an Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) camera system at all fuel stations and denied fuel across Delhi, and also stand to be impounded by the police. This policy was expected to extend to NCR regions including Gurgaon, Faridabad, and Noida by November. In a letter dated 3 July, the minister said that while the Delhi government complies with the CAQM's plan to phase out old, polluting vehicles, the current policy to deny fuel to these vehicles is not feasible due to operational challenges. 'Because of technological inconsistencies and lack of integration with neighbouring states … there is public discontent and outcry,' read the letter. New Delhi: In the face of backlash over the move, Delhi Environment Minister Manjinder Singh Sirsa has requested the Commission for Air Quality Management (CAQM) to pause its new directive denying fuel to petrol vehicles older than 15 years and diesel vehicles older than 10 years, two days after the order was implemented in the national capital. The measure was met with backlash by a section of citizens who took to social media to complain about classifying petrol vehicles older than 10 years and diesel vehicles older than 15 years as 'unfit' for Delhi's roads. 62 lakh vehicles banned from fuel overnight in Delhi. No proper EV infra, no affordable alternatives, just pressure on middle class families. Even well-maintained cars face the axe! This isn't saving the planet, it's wrecking livelihoods!! 🤷♂️ — Karan Singh Dhillon (@karandhillon28) July 1, 2025 So, Delhi has banned fuel stations from refuelling 15-year-old petrol and 10-year-old diesel vehicles starting today. Great for headlines, but what about those who can't afford a new car or EV? Poor scrappage support, no exchange offers, no EV infrastructure! Just a sudden ban.… — Arun Prabhudesai (@8ap) July 1, 2025 As a result, the Delhi minister in his letter to the statutory body wrote that 'immediate implementation of the directive may be premature and potentially counterproductive'. The main issues pointed out in the letter were to do with the implementation of the policy, which relies on ANPR systems to recognise the vehicles. The letter said that these ANPR systems have potential glitches, and the camera placement too was not viable. Also, the minister pointed out that 'the system is not yet fully integrated into the databases of neighbouring states'. What this would lead to, said the letter, is people getting fuel from nearby NCR regions for their EoL vehicles rather than taking them off the roads. 'A stage-wise implementation system will not serve its purpose …. It is highly to lead vehicle owners procuring fuel from adjacent districts, circumventing the ban and fostering an illegal cross-border market for fuel,' read the letter. The initial order (Direction 89) to deny fuel to end-of-life polluting vehicles by 1 July was passed by CAQM on 23 April this year. The move had been earlier announced by Delhi Environment Minister Manjinder Sirsa, who said it would come into force from 31 March, but it was pushed to ensure more time for fuel stations to be equipped with ANPR cameras. The order to deny fuel to EoL vehicles from plying on Delhi's roads came after numerous advisories and directions by the National Green Tribunal (NGT), the Supreme Court, Union Ministry of Environment, Forests and Climate Change, and the Delhi government in a bid to reduce air pollution. However, in the letter, Sirsa mentioned that the Delhi government has existing and ongoing measures to curb pollution, such as planting 70 lakh trees, strengthening the pollution certificate (PUC) regime for vehicles, and cloud seeding measures. 'We are confident that the ongoing multipronged efforts of the Delhi government will achieve substantial improvements in air quality,' read his letter to the CAQM.

Delhi government rolls back fuel ban on end-of-life vehicles after public outrage
The fuel ban on end-of-life vehicles has been revoked amidst massive public outrage over the new regulations (PTI) Check Offers The Delhi government has put a pause on the sale of fuel for end-of-life vehicles (ELVs) in the national capital. The government issued a mandate banning fuel sales to diesel vehicles over 10 years old, and petrol vehicles over 15 years old, from July 1, 2025, in a bid to curb air pollution. The Delhi transport department and traffic police have been impounding ELVs since the start of this month. Delhi Environment Minister Manjinder Singh Sirsa has written to the Commission for Air Quality Management (CAQM) to hold its directions mandating a ban on fuel sales to end-of-life vehicles (ELVs). The decision comes amidst huge public outcry over the new laws that forced many well-kept vehicles off the road. Also Read : Delhi fuel ban on overage vehicles sparks outrage. Here's what people said Technological challenges to implement fuel ban The minister cited 'technological challenges and complex systems," as the reason for the pause on the decision. The environment minister said that a system to seize poorly maintained vehicles is being worked out, rather than punishing people who take care of their cars and motorcycles. Customers argued that the government did not care about the health of the vehicle, as much as the age, forcing owners to upgrade to newer vehicles instead. 'We urge the Commission to put the implementation of Direction No. 89 on hold with immediate effect till the Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) system is seamlessly integrated across the entire NCR," the minister said in the letter to CAQM, according to ANI. "We are confident that the ongoing multi-pronged efforts of the Delhi Government will achieve substantial improvements in air quality," it added. Over 62 lakh overage vehicles affected by latest order Data suggests that over 62 lakh vehicles, including cars, two-wheelers, trucks, and vintage vehicles, were affected by the CAQM order. As per the new regulations, the end-of-life vehicles were to be identified by cameras set up across the 498 fuel stations in the national capital. These cameras were connected to the central database and would cross-verify number plates. The system would then alert the fuel operator about the ELV status, who would then deny fuel to the vehicle. "Because of the technological inconsistencies of this extremely complex system and lack of integration with neighbouring states, there is public discontent and outcry and in the said circumstances, it is not feasible to implement this system to end of life vehicles identified through ANPR cameras installed at Petrol pumps in Delhi," the minister said. Automatic Number Plate Recognition cameras not equipped to identify HSRPs The Delhi government now says that the Automatic Number Plate Recognition cameras used to identify ELVs, 'did not constitute a robust system," because the system can't yet identify the High Security Registration Plates (HSRP), which are mandatory on all cars in Delhi-NCR since April 2019. Furthermore, the minister in his letter listed several steps taken by the Delhi government to combat air pollution. This includes implementing a new pollution under control (PUC) certificate regime to ensure stricter compliance, specifically for out of state vehicles. The government is also planning to create a new system that will send an SMS to ELV owners two to three months ahead of the planned phase-out.

Delhi government urges CAQM to put fuel ban on overage vehicles on hold
The Delhi government has written to the Commission for Air Quality Management (CAQM), requesting an immediate suspension of the fuel ban on end-of-life (EOL) vehicles, citing significant technological and operational challenges in its implementation. At a press conference on Thursday, Delhi Environment Minister Manjinder Singh Sirsa said there is growing public discontent over the ban, which came into effect on July 1, and asserted that the government stands with the affected vehicle owners. 'We are trying to ensure that vehicles are not banned purely based on age, but rather on the pollution they cause,' he said. Under the current regulation, fuel stations in Delhi are barred from supplying fuel to diesel vehicles older than 10 years and petrol vehicles older than 15 years that have been deregistered and are not legally permitted on roads, following court orders. Sirsa said the Delhi government is exploring alternatives to this policy and has formally communicated its inability to implement CAQM's directive, citing ongoing issues with the Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) system installed at fuel stations. A plea to CAQM In his letter to the CAQM chairperson, Sirsa stated, 'There are critical operational and infrastructural challenges that make it unfeasible to implement this order at this juncture.' He added that due to these technological inconsistencies and a lack of integration with NCR states, the system may even prove counterproductive. The minister pointed out that although ANPR cameras have been installed at most petrol pumps, the system faces several glitches, including issues with camera placement, sensor and speaker malfunctions, and difficulty identifying vehicles without High Security Registration Plates (HSRP). Additionally, he noted the lack of coordination with databases from neighbouring NCR cities such as Gurugram, Faridabad, and Ghaziabad — areas from where owners of overage vehicles can still procure fuel without restriction. 'The fuel ban in Delhi alone will not serve its intended purpose unless implemented uniformly across the entire NCR,' he said. Sirsa highlighted that the ANPR system in these neighbouring regions is not yet functional, which could allow banned vehicles to bypass restrictions by refueling outside Delhi. Several pollution control measures The minister also detailed several pollution control measures initiated by the Delhi government, including a stricter Pollution Under Control (PUC) certification regime, particularly for vehicles from outside Delhi. He said a system is being developed to notify owners of aging vehicles 2-3 months in advance via SMS to help them prepare for the transition. 'We strongly urge the Commission to pause the implementation of Direction No. 89 until the ANPR system is fully integrated across the NCR,' Sirsa wrote. He further criticised the previous AAP-led administration for not challenging the EOL vehicle ban in court or before the National Green Tribunal. 'This enforcement could have been avoided had timely intervention been taken,' he said. Since the fuel ban took effect, Delhi's transport department and traffic police have begun impounding EOL vehicles found at fuel stations.
