The Delhi Government has recently announced that the GRAP (Graded Response Action Plan) entrance ban on BS3 and BS4 diesel will be in effect till November 13. BS3 petrol vehicles are also not permitted to be utilized during the training. However, officials in Delhi confirm that the trucks would be allowed access. This choice was made after a small improvement in the city's air quality. In accordance with the new regulations, the transport department will issue a challan and punish those who violate them, fining them up to Rs 20,000.

According to Stage 3 of the Graded Response Action Plan (GRAP), four-wheelers powered by BS-III gasoline and BS-IV diesel will still be prohibited in Delhi, according to Gopal Rai, the city's environment minister. The ban does not apply to vehicles that are used for government, electoral, or emergency services activities.

There would be a restriction on the operation of BS- III gasoline and BS- IV diesel light motor vehicles within the territorial jurisdiction of the NCT of Delhi, per the instructions provided under Stage III of the updated GRAP. The aforementioned instructions will continue to be in effect until November 13 or until the GRAP stage is revised downward, whichever comes first. If the (CAQM) Centre for Air Quality Management orders GRAP-III and above limits, the restrictions would last through November 13 as well, according to the directive. It went on to say that anyone discovered using BS-III gasoline or BS-IV diesel LMVs on public highways will face legal consequences under the 1988 Motor Vehicle Act.

In a different order, the department stated that entry of trucks and Delhi-registered medium- and heavy-goods vehicles powered by diesel will not be prohibited. In a related development, over 9,000 owners of BS-IV diesel cars responded to a survey that was conducted by the community social media platform LocalCircles.

A portion of the car owners expressed displeasure with the CAQM action, according to the survey. 25 percent of them said they would switch to public transportation, while nearly 11 percent said they would break the ban and suffer the consequences. Another 49% of diesel car owners claimed they had access to non-ban vehicles and would use those in their place.
