Chief Minister Rekha Gupta’s government has taken a big decision to control air pollution in Delhi. After the next three days i.e. from 1 November 2025, only BS6 commercial vehicles will be allowed entry from the Delhi border. There will be a complete ban on all other commercial vehicles including BS4 and BS5.
If sources are to be believed, the Delhi government has announced that this rule will be implemented completely and strictly from November 1. Action will also be taken against those who violate the rules.
Rekha Gupta government has decided that all the goods vehicles registered outside Delhi, which do not meet the BS-VI emission standards, will not get permission to enter Delhi from November 1. This order has been issued following the instructions of the Commission for Air Quality Management (CAQM).
What is the new rule?
After the order of CAQM, the Delhi government has issued new rules regarding vehicles, in which only BS-6 standard commercial vehicles can enter Delhi from November 1.
What is BS-VI engine technology?
This step is taken to reduce the smoke emitted from vehicles when the pollution level is highest in Delhi. The study says that engines with BS-6 technology emit less smoke than earlier engines. This technology is many times cleaner than earlier technologies. The harmful particles and gases emitted from it are also very less.
Harmful gases like particulate matter (PM) and nitrogen oxide (NOx) emitted from BS-VI vehicles can be reduced. This is a big step towards improving the air of Delhi.
Why is the rule of entry of only BS-6 vehicles necessary?
In fact, every year in the month of October, pollution in Delhi’s air increases, which remains at harmful levels till January-February. Due to this, burning of stubble, smoke coming out from vehicles and stagnation of air… cause increase in pollution.
These vehicles will get entry in Delhi
Under the orders of Delhi Government, some vehicles have been exempted from the ban. In these-
– BS-IV diesel vehicles (by 31 October 2026)
– BS-VI diesel vehicles
– CNG, LNG and Electric Vehicles
– Commercial goods vehicles registered in Delhi
