Delhi to Restrict Entry of These Vehicles from November 1 as AQI Drops -Check If Your Vehicle Is Compliant News24 –
Amid the flagrant drop in AQI and the Delhi Government’s bid to revive it to its former state, all commercial goods vehicles that have been registered outside Delhi and are not compliant with BS-VI norms will be prohibited from entering the national capital from November 1, in line with the directions of the Commission for Air Quality Management.
BS-VI compliant vehicles meet stricter emission standards, contributing towards curtailing pollution, and hence their entry has been allowed.

In a meeting held on October 17, the Commission for Air Quality Management (CAQM) approved a sweeping ban on the entry of polluting commercial vehicles into Delhi from November 1, amid the city’s worsening pollution woes.
