Deregister diesel vehicles older than 10 years, NGT rules

The National Green Tribunal on Monday issued an order to Delhi RTO (Regional Transport Office) to deregister diesel vehicles that are more than ten years old. 

The order will come into effect immediately.

The Tribunal also ordered the RTO to provide a list of all such vehicles to Delhi traffic police.

After the announcement of diesel ban vehicles in Delhi, many automobile manufacturers have resorted to petrol versions of their popular diesel SUVs and vehicles with smaller engine capacities, to get around the ban. Others have such models in the pipeline.

At 1337, the share of Mahindra & Mahindra were trading flat at Rs 1469.40, up 0.31% on BSE.

The order does not impact commercial vehicles.
