The Delhi government moved to the Supreme Court on July 28, 2025, to challenge the blanket ban on overage vehicles in the Delhi-NCR region. This action follows the enforcement of a directive that prohibits vehicles beyond a certain age from operating, irrespective of their compliance with BS VI or other emission standards. The government’s plea emphasizes the impact on ordinary citizens and questions whether such a blanket ban should apply to vehicles that are otherwise well maintained and compliant with the latest emission norms. The Supreme Court’s decision could set a landmark precedent affecting countless vehicle owners and potentially alter Delhi’s approach to air quality management and mobility.
