The new rules could reduce harmful winter smog in Delhi, improving air quality and public health during a season when pollution typically spikes.
The Delhi government has outlined a new strategy to combat rising air pollution levels during the winter season. Central to this plan is the strict enforcement of the "No PUC, no fuel" policy, which mandates that vehicles must pass pollution under control tests to receive fuel. Additionally, authorities intend to expand the public transport network by adding approximately 150 new electric buses to the city's roads. These combined initiatives aim to reduce emissions from both private and public transportation sectors, addressing the environmental concerns that typically worsen as temperatures drop in the capital region.
