All 2,856 shelters will be taken under the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) model with no expenditure from the Delhi Transport Infrastructure Development Corporation (DTIDC), following a recent meeting chaired by the Delhi transport minister, he added. According to a proposal by the DTIDC, the city currently has 4,627 notified bus queue shelter locations according to a 2007 Gazette notification, but only 2,021 are operational. Among these, 250 are old-type DTC shelters, 1,580 are stainless steel modern shelters, and 191 are mild steel shelters installed through MP and MLA LAD funds. view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Transport dept prepares to stop refuelling of end-of-life vehicles on July 1
New Delhi: Delhi govt has geared up to enforce the ban on refuelling end-of-life vehicles, with plans to station enforcement teams from transport, traffic, and MCD to impound such vehicles. A senior official said that teams would be deployed at fuel stations to monitor the implementation and take action against such vehicles. The teams would be from MCD, the transport department enforcement wing, and traffic. The Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) issued to the pump owners says that there will be "immediate legal action by enforcement teams" when end-of-life vehicles are "identified". This would include "impounding and disposal in accordance with Registered Vehicle Scrapping Facility (RVSF) Rules and as per Guidelines issued by the Transport Department." You Can Also Check: Delhi AQI | Weather in Delhi | Bank Holidays in Delhi | Public Holidays in Delhi The official said that the agencies would try to cover at least 90% of the pumps. Sources said around 200 teams have been formed. The fuel stations will also submit the list of violating vehicles to CAQM and the ministry of petroleum and natural gas weekly for further action. There are around 400 pumps in the city. According to a directive from the Commission for Air Quality Management (CAQM), beginning July 1, all end-of-life (EOL) vehicles — which is diesel vehicles older than 10 years and petrol vehicles older than 15 years — will not be allowed to refuel in Delhi, regardless of the state in which they are registered. In the SOP, the transport department has specified that fuel stations must display mandatory signage reading: "Fuel will not be dispensed to End of Life Vehicles -- i.e. 15 years' old petrol/CNG and 10 years' old diesel w.e.f. 01.07.2025". Petrol stations have also been directed to train their staff on the CAQM regulations and the procedures for denying fuel. Delhi Transport Infrastructure Development Corporation (DTIDC) shall ensure the functioning of the automated number plate recognition (ANPR) camera systems installed at fuel stations, the SOP said. "Such a system shall ensure the capturing and displaying of the registration details of all the vehicles that enter the premises of a fuelling station ," it added. Nischal Singhania, president of the Delhi Petrol Dealers' Association, said: "We have some apprehensions regarding the penal clauses that have been imposed on us if we give petrol to such vehicles.... We are also apprehensive regarding the situation at petrol pumps when a vehicle is impounded." A senior official said that govt is also concerned about it and training is being given to enforcement teams. DTIDC has been directed to widely disseminate the direction of CAQM among all stakeholders, including fuel stations, through FM radio, newspapers and outreach to fuel stations. The department has been directed to deploy teams at fuel stations, especially with maximum end-of-life vehicle visits on preceding days, to monitor the implementation and take action against the violating fuel stations as per Section 192 of the Motor Vehicle Act, 1988. The department will also have to seek immediate legal action by enforcement teams. It has also been directed to submit the list of violating fuel stations to CAQM and the ministry of petroleum and natural gas every week.

The designs for these world-class BQS are being developed following a detailed study of existing models in Delhi-NCR, Bengaluru, Navi Mumbai, as well as international cities such as Singapore, London, and those in China, the minister said, according to a statement. The capital city will soon witness the construction of some of the most modern and aesthetically advanced bus stops. These will be illuminated with LED lights and include digital display boards showing bus routes and numbers for easy commuter access, the statement said. Officials told the minister that a cost analysis and design studies of BQS structures from both Indian and international cities are being undertaken. The Transport Department has also recommended using stainless steel for the construction of the new shelters, it said. The best design will be chosen through an open competition. After that, the project will move ahead with finalising the design, constructing the shelters, and their operation and maintenance, the statement said. The department informed the minister that there are currently 4,627 notified BQS locations across Delhi, of which 2,021 are already operational. Singh said that to strengthen Delhi's public transport infrastructure, the Delhi Transport Infrastructure Development Corporation (DTIDC) has prepared a plan to replace old and dilapidated bus stops with advanced and modern BQS in both urban and rural areas. The minister also emphasised that the department is working swiftly on bus route rationalisation to ensure optimal connectivity and commuter convenience.
