India’s supreme court has ruled that about 3.7 million older gasoline and diesel vehicles in the metropolitan Delhi area must be taken off the road, effective immediately.
The three-judge court, describing Delhi’s air quality as “very critical” and “horrible,” gave India’s Environmental Pollution Authority the power to impound or seize the targeted vehicles. Air quality in Delhi and the national capital region of which it is a part has been described as the world’s most polluted.
The order applies to gasoline-powered cars, trucks and buses that are more than 15 years old and diesels that are more than 10 years old. That group represents one-third of all vehicles registered in the region.
The supreme court directed India’s Central Pollution Control Board to prepare and make public a list of targeted vehicles. The court is allowed under the country’s Graded Response Action Plan to order preemptive steps to improve air quality that are beyond Delhi’s existing pollution control measures.
