What will happen to the old cars now?
Recently, after the order of the National Green Tribunal (NGT), the Delhi Transport Department had issued an order regarding old vehicles. Following this order, Delhi government officials have said that the owners of diesel or petrol vehicles are apprehensive about the possibility of their cars being deregistered or seized. In such a situation, these people can take advantage of the scrappage policy or can get a no-objection certificate. Such old vehicles can be sold outside the capital. Many schemes of the Delhi government are also going on so that people can convert old vehicles to electric too, although this is likely to take time.
