Despite the Delhi government's assurances that no coercive action would be taken against end-of-life vehicles (ELVs), many vehicle owners in the city report ongoing enforcement actions. This situation stems from existing Supreme Court and National Green Tribunal (NGT) orders that prohibit diesel vehicles older than 10 years and petrol vehicles older than 15 years from operating in Delhi-NCR. Residents like Rajesh Malhotra and Seema Arora have expressed frustration as their vehicles were impounded or faced difficulties in obtaining necessary services like pollution under control certificates. Malhotra's petrol hatchback was towed away, while Arora's diesel SUV, despite being mechanically fit, could not renew its documents due to age restrictions. Transport department officials confirmed that legal limitations prevent any immediate changes to the status of ELVs, as the court orders remain in effect. While the Delhi government has announced plans to appeal these restrictions, enforcement agencies are still empowered to act against vehicles categorized as ELVs. This ongoing confusion highlights the gap between government statements and the reality faced by vehicle owners.
