The Union Cabinet of India has approved a comprehensive two-year scheme aimed at tackling air pollution in the Delhi-NCR region by promoting cleaner vehicle options. This initiative, with a total financial outlay of ₹9,585 crore, will be funded by the National Capital Region Planning Board and implemented by multiple ministries, including the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways. The scheme targets truck and bus owners, encouraging them to replace older vehicles that comply with BS-IV or earlier emission norms with BS-VI compliant or electric vehicles. It is estimated that around 2.07 lakh vehicle owners will be eligible for benefits, including a 5% interest subvention on loans and monthly fuel vouchers worth up to ₹4,800. The transport sector contributes significantly to air pollution in the region, making this initiative crucial for improving air quality. The scheme will be monitored through a digital platform, ensuring real-time tracking of pollution reduction efforts.
